With Trump, the White House eliminates the Spanish version of its website.
Newly inaugurated US President Donald Trump has already oversaw changes to the official White House website. On Friday (20), the White House removed the Spanish versions of its website and social media accounts; the decision indicates the Trump administration's distancing from the Hispanic community, which represents about 18% of the US population; the Republican has not appointed any Latinos to his cabinet, something unprecedented since 1988.
247 - Newly inaugurated US President Donald Trump has already oversaw changes to the official White House website. On Friday (20), the White House removed the Spanish versions of its website and social media accounts. The decision indicates the Trump administration's distancing from the Hispanic community, which represents about 18% of the US population. The Republican has not appointed any Latinos to his cabinet, something unprecedented since 1988.
The information comes from Folha de S.Paulo.
"References to federal government policies on issues such as the environment, civil rights, and the LGBT population were also removed from the White House website."
Instead, the new administration's priorities were included regarding issues such as energy generation, combating terrorism, job creation, investment in the military, valuing security agents, and eliminating free trade agreements.
During the election campaign, Trump made comments considered hostile to the Hispanic community. He called Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals and promised to build a wall on the country's southern border.
