Trump Praises Bukele Before Meeting
United States President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he is eagerly anticipating his upcoming meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, scheduled for April 14. Trump highlighted the strong cooperation between the two nations, particularly in efforts to combat terrorism and promote mutual prosperity.
In his message, Trump emphasized that the United States and El Salvador are "working closely together to eradicate terrorist organizations and build a future of prosperity." He expressed appreciation for Bukele’s bold actions in taking custody of individuals he described as some of "the most violent alien enemies of the world and, in particular, the United States."
Trump praised Bukele's administration for accepting responsibility for these detainees, stating that these "barbarians" are now in the "sole custody of El Salvador" and will "never threaten or menace our citizens again." His comments underline a significant security collaboration between the two governments, aimed at ensuring that transnational criminal elements no longer pose a risk to American lives.
The April 14 meeting is expected to further reinforce bilateral efforts, with both leaders prioritizing security, regional stability, and economic development as key points of engagement. Trump’s public support for Bukele signals continued alignment between the two administrations in handling international crime and strengthening border security initiatives.
As both countries navigate complex geopolitical and migration challenges, the upcoming summit may provide a platform for deepening ties and outlining new measures to counter organized threats across the Western Hemisphere.
