PANews reported on April 3 that Trump recently sent a letter to Salvadoran President Bukele, thanking him for his cooperation in combating illegal immigration and highly praising the use of the new super prison to detain Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gang members. Trump said Bukele showed "real leadership" and invited him to pay an official visit to the White House on April 14 to explore ways for the two sides to cooperate and support each other.
