Mexico CITY: El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has agreed to take in criminals of “any nationality,” including violent criminals, from the United States, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Monday.

“[Bukele] has agreed to accept for deportation any illegal alien in the United States who is a criminal from any nationality, be they MS-13 or Tren de Aragua, and house them in his jails,” Rubio said following a meeting with the Salvadorean leader.

Rubio added that Bukele also “offered to house in his jails dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those of US citizenship and legal residents.” “No country’s ever made an offer of friendship such as this,” Rubio said. Bukele said in a post on social media platform X that he offered the US the chance to “outsource part of its prison system.” (DPA)
