President Donald Trump offered praise for El Salvadoran President Nayib Armando Bukele following the latter’s official state visit to the U.S. on Monday, noting that the foreign leader’s approach to violent crime has made his country much safer.
Specifically, Trump was referring to Bukele’s construction of a number of ultra-modern, high-security prisons, one of which – a facility known as CECOT- is being used to house dangerous MS-13 gang members who have been deported from the United States.
