The Trump administration swiftly removed the Spanish-language version of the White House website shortly after inauguration, sparking confusion and criticism from Hispanic advocacy groups. Critics decried the move as a disengagement from the Latino community, which was instrumental in Trump's electoral success. The White House defended the change, stating it was part of website development and committed to restoring the Spanish translation section soon.

Hispanic advocacy groups and others expressed confusion at the abrupt change and frustration at what some called the administration’s lack of efforts to maintain communication with the Latino community, which helped propel him to the presidency. Asked about the changes, White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields responded Tuesday that the administration is “committed to bringing back online the Spanish translation section of the website.”
