    Updated screengrab of the White House Spanish-language website. 

The White House's Spanish-language website is no longer accessible as of Tuesday, following updates implemented by the administration of newly sworn-in US President Donald Trump. The revamp began on Monday, coinciding with Trump's inauguration as the 47th president.

By Monday evening, the updated website prominently displayed images of Trump and his cabinet alongside a bold declaration: "AMERICA IS BACK." At the time, the site featured only two sections, focusing on news about the president's initial executive orders and outlining his administration's priorities.

By midday Tuesday, attempting to access the Spanish-language version of the website led to an error message stating, "Page Not Found." The only clickable button initially read "Go Home," which many social media users criticized as carrying an unintended double meaning. By 1 p.m. local time (18:00 GMT), the text was changed to "Go To Home Page."

Oh my God… lol

The Spanish Whitehouse website is no longer working.

It has been deleted and the “Home” redirection link has been changed to say “GO HOME”.🤣🤣🤣🤣☠️ pic.twitter.com/rCk88vpWt7

Additionally, the Spanish-language White House account on X (formerly Twitter) was taken offline. These developments mirror similar actions taken in 2017 during Trump's first term, when the Spanish-language website was also removed shortly after his inauguration. Under Trump’s previous administration, the site remained inactive throughout his presidency, a notable departure from the practices of the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, which maintained Spanish-language content.

The decision has sparked criticism from Spanish-speaking communities and international observers. Spain's Foreign Minister Alfonso Dastis, commenting on the 2017 removal, stated, "We believe it is not a good idea to give up on such a communication tool, given that this is a country with 52 million Spanish speakers."

As of now, the White House has not issued an official statement about the future of its Spanish-language resources. The removal of these tools has reignited debates over accessibility and inclusivity, raising questions about the administration's approach to engaging with a significant segment of the US population.
