(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) WASHINGTON, April 15 (KUNA) -- President of the US and El Salvador, Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele respectively, met in the White House late Monday, discussing a variety of issues including bolstering ties as well as ongoing efforts to tackle illegal immigration.
Speaking on the meeting, US Vice President JD Vance said in a statement on Twitter, "President Trump and I had a very productive meeting with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador today. The United States looks forward to continuing our relationship."
This meeting came as El Salvador was increasingly receiving illegal migrants from the United States, with the latter country deeming such deportees as "criminals" and members of violent gangs.
Ties between El Salvador and the United States are increasingly boosted since Trump took over the Presidency with San Salvador announcing that it would be receiving illegal migrants from the US.
El Salvador was the second stop visited by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on his five-state Latin America tour back in February. Rubio focused his visits on discussing illegal immigration, stopping the smuggling of narcotics as well as putting a stop to the "Chinese influence" in the Panama Canal. (end)
