EL SALVADOR/REGION: Accommodating Trump’s migration-related demands
“The most unprecedented and extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world”. This was the response by the new US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to the offer by El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, arguably US President Donald Trump’s closest ally in the sub-region, to accept deportees of any nationality, including US criminals, for a fee. At the time of writing, this deal had yet to materialise. However, it comes as the sub-region is scrambling to meet US demands and comply with Trump’s declared priority of enacting mass deportations of migrants – a strategy which has major implications for Central America.
