"First came the mutual praise. "I want to just say hello to the people of El Salvador and say they have one hell of a president," Trump started."
"This confab was the latest brutish two-step in a decades-long political dance between the U.S. and El Salvador, underscoring deep-rooted historical tensions."
During a joint press conference between President Trump and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, the leaders exchanged light-hearted compliments, masking deeper discussions about migrant policies and their historical implications. They discussed controversial actions like the extrajudicial transfer of Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran prison and issues surrounding the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The backdrop of U.S.-El Salvador relations reveals a complex history of intervention, with past support for oppressive regimes and policies contributing to present-day challenges like gang violence and migration.
