Trump Takes Down Spanish Version Of White House Website

Source: Huff Post

Jan 21, 2025, 02:45 PM EST


Less than 24 hours after Donald Trump’s inauguration, his administration has taken down the Spanish-language version of the official White House website — making it that much more difficult for those seeking information on the president and the White House in Spanish.

The site, whitehouse.gov/es/, now says “404 Page Not Found” with an illustration of the White House. The button that redirects users to the English-language webpage initially said “Go Home” before changing to “Go To Home Page.”

At the beginning of his first term, President Donald Trump made a similar change to the Spanish language site, which was revived when Biden took office. The Bush, Obama and Biden administrations all maintained a Spanish version of the official White House site, regularly updating it for Spanish-speaking Americans looking for resources from the federal government.

A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

Propaganda anyway. So Hopefully Spanish speaking Americans will turn to Spanish speaking countries, or LuLac communities for the truth
