El Salvador Gains Favor With Trump Through Deportation Pact
Bukele’s crackdown on deportees strengthens U.S. ties
El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has become a key partner in the Trump administration’s deportation strategy, accepting and incarcerating over 200 U.S.-deported individuals, many with alleged gang ties.
The move has bolstered bilateral cooperation as Bukele positions himself as a regional ally on immigration enforcement while leveraging the deal to consolidate domestic support.
