Trump hosts Bukele at the White House days after his third-term bid clears in El Salvador
So what? Washington's continued embrace of Bukele's now-unlimited-term bid, without any public reservation, signals the security and deportation-cooperation relationship outweighs democratic-backsliding concerns in this partnership, an opening for deeper joint counter-gang and removal-flight cooperation. It also sets a precedent other regional leaders eyeing their own term-limit changes will read as Washington declining to penalize the move, worth watching in Honduras' and Guatemala's own political trajectories.
