Trump Closes Spanish Page of the White House

Trump Eliminates Official Spanish-Language Page.
White House Social Media Also Closed.
What Does It Mean for the Hispanic Community?

The new President of the United States, Donald Trump, has closed the official White House website and social media pages in Spanish.

This occurred shortly after he took office, just as he did when he first came to power in 2017.

Visitors to the website are now greeted with a «Page not found» message.

This message appears over the redesigned logo with which the Trump Administration has sought to distance itself from former President Joe Biden’s administration (2021-2025).

DONALD TRUMP CLOSES WHITE HOUSE SPANISH PAGE

The Republican had previously made this same move when he entered the presidential mansion for his first term (2017-2021).

And he closed the version of the website that operated properly during the administration of former President Barack Obama (2009-2017).

In 2021, Biden sought to restore it, and it was available until yesterday.

In addition to the website, the new White House also deleted its Spanish-language social media profiles.

Implications for the Hispanic Community

In the last elections, Trump received a record number of votes from the Latino community for a Republican candidate.

Once Trump was inaugurated this Monday, the White House website changed its appearance to a darker blue.

And in it, the image of the president and military elements became more prominent.

The elimination of Spanish-language resources poses challenges for the millions of Spanish speakers in the United States.

What’s Next?

Although many can access the English version, this decision reduces inclusion and representation in a country where Spanish is the second most spoken language.

Immigrant rights organizations have expressed concern about what they consider a setback in terms of accessibility.

Moreover, they highlight that Spanish is not only an important language for Latinos but also for other sectors of American society that use it in their daily lives.

In a context where immigration policies and social issues directly affect millions of Spanish speakers, this change highlights the need for alternatives to ensure access to information.
