The White House no longer speaks Spanish
La Casa Blanca ya no habla español
During Barack Obama’s eight years in office, the website had offered translations of English-language information and original Spanish content on topics of interest to the Hispanic community.
On Monday, a White House spokesman said that the move is temporary but that it will “take a while” before Spanish is back. “We are continuing to build out the website, both in the issue areas and then that area,” said Press Secretary Sean Spicer at a press briefing. “Trust me, it's just going to take a little bit more time, but we’re working piece by piece to get that done.”
But not everyone is convinced.
Let’s speak Spanish on the streets and at school, at the mall, in public transportation, in the squares

“Nobody should be surprised at the fact that [Donald Trump] has eliminated the Spanish-language site,” says Ana Navarro, a Republican political commentator with family roots in Nicaragua and a vocal critic of the new president.
