About This Trend
El Salvador is a Central American nation bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the south and the Gulf of Fonseca to the north.
According to Reuters, El Salvador recently sent 252 detained Venezuelans home in exchange for the freedom of 10 Americans, a prisoner swap agreed upon between the U.S., El Salvador, and Venezuela. This exchange occurred due to a previous decision by the Trump administration to deport Venezuelans from the U.S., resulting in their imprisonment in El Salvador. A recent article from Reuters details this prisoner swap and its implications. El Salvador's current president, Nayib Bukele, has been facing criticism over his handling of the nation's democracy and rights, as reported by World Politics Review.
