US Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele at his residence at Lake Coatepeque in El Salvador, February 3, 2025
THE right-wing president of El Salvador proposed on Monday that his country would be willing to jail convicts from the United States for a fee.
President Nayib Bukele made the “unprecedented offer” during a visit by the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to his Lake Coatepeque residence, just outside the capital San Salvador.
Mr Bukele said that his country was willing to imprison US convicts in a new prison opened last year. It is the largest prison in Latin America.
