Trump to meet with El Salvadoran President Bukele at White House

President Donald Trump will meet with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele at the White House on Monday amid both leaders teaming up on migrant deportation efforts.

"We look forward to seeing President Bukele, of El Salvador, tomorrow in the White House!" Trump wrote on TRUTH Social on Sunday evening.

Trump told reporters over the weekend that he thought Bukele was doing a "fantastic job" and "taking care of a lot of problems that we have that we really wouldn't be able to take care of from a cost standpoint," according to ABC News.

As the Trump administration has cracked down on crime for the president's second term, El Salvador has accepted hundreds of alleged gang members from the U.S. who are being held in the country's Terrorism Confinement Center.

"We have some very bad people in that prison, people that should have never been allowed into our country, people that murder drug dealers, some of the worst people on Earth are in that prison and he's able to do that," Trump said. 

El Salvador was once known as the "murder capital" of the world. One of Bukele's main issues was changing that and making significant reforms, including imprisoning more criminals and allowing the government to crack down more on crime.

 Some have criticized Bukele's policies for being too harsh and even corrupt.
