El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele told President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Monday that he has 350 million Americans to ‘liberate’ by ending crime and terrorism in the United States.
‘We know that you have a crime problem and a terrorism problem that you need help with. And we’re a small country, but we can help,’ Bukele said. ‘We actually turned the murder capital of the world — that was [what] the journalists called it – the murder capital of the world to the safest country in the Western Hemisphere.’
‘And I like to say that we actually liberated millions,’ Bukele said, with the line drawing praise from Trump.
‘Mr. President, you have 350 million people to liberate,’ Bukele told Trump. ‘You cannot just, you know, free the criminals and think crime is going to go down magically, you have to imprison them so you can liberate 350 million Americans that are asking for the end of crime and the end of terrorism, and it can be done.’
Trump also referenced how the left has pushed for biological men to compete in women’s sports.
‘Do you allow your men in women’s sports? Do you allow men to box women?’ Trump asked Bukele.
The president of El Salvador remarked, ‘That’s violence.’
