Nayib Bukele Meets Trump | Donald Trump Meets Bukele | U.S.-El Salvador relations | Mass deportations | Immigrants | US News | World News
President Donald Trump stunned the press by publicly praising El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele as the “world’s coolest dictator” during a high-profile White House meeting. The two leaders discussed expanding cooperation on controversial migrant deportations, with Trump commending Bukele’s crackdown on gangs and willingness to accept deportees into El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison. The Trump administration is refusing to ask El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele to release a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to his country and incarcerated in a notorious prison — and Bukele isn’t interested in releasing him, either. Bukele, who met with Trump in the Oval Office on Monday, was asked by a reporter if he’d consider releasing Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen who was living in Maryland before he was arrested and deported back to his home country last month despite an immigration judge’s years-old order preventing the government from deporting him.
