El Salvador President heads to Washington to meet with Trump
US President Donald Trump will host his El Salvador counterpart Nayib Bukele at the White House on Monday, highlighting the central American leader's role as a top ally in Washington's crackdown on undocumented immigration.
Bukele has agreed to accept migrants deported from the United States, locking up more than 250 in a notorious Salvadoran prison.
Political scientist Napoleon Campos said the meeting between Bukele and Trump had become oversimplified to 'the issue of a heavy-handed security approach.'
'There are other topics that could be discussed, such as investments and trade, but it all comes down to talking about a prison,' he said.
Trump posted on his Truth Social platform Saturday that the US and El Salvador are 'working closely together to eradicate terrorist organizations, and build a future of Prosperity.'
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said Trump and Bukele 'will discuss El Salvador's partnership on using their supermax prison for Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gang members and how El Salvador's cooperation with the United States has become a model for others to work with this administration.'
