The president of the United States, Donald Trump, telephonated his counterpart from El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, with whom he spoke about the fight against illegal immigration and criminal gangs such as the Aragua train -extended by several Latin American nations -, according to the White House.
“President Trump also praised the leadership of President Bukele in the region and the example that gives other nations of the western hemisphere,” said the US executive headquarters in a statement.
Bukele was one of the Latin American leaders invited to Trump’s possession, with whom he joins a hard -hand populist speech against crime and his love for cryptocurrencies, although the Salvadoran finally did not attend the ceremony.
Relations between El Salvador and the United Bukele, despite the constitutional prohibition.
In the United States, more than two million Salvadorans live, who are the main support of the Salvadoran economy with the sending of family remittances above 7,000 million dollars.
Although the exchange with Bukele is the first conversation with a foreign leader who is officially informed since Trump was invested Monday as president, his first call was reserved on Wednesday to the Saudi heir prince Mohamed Bin Bin Salmán. EFE
