Trump Meeting with Bukele: Strengthening Ties on Security and Bitcoin

U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to welcome at the White House President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador on April 14, 2020. The visit is in line with the recently signed bilateral agreements between the two countries regarding immigration and security cooperation.

President Donald Trump will host President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador at the White House on April 14, 2023, for a crucial meeting focused on pressing issues of mutual concern, including border security, criminal repatriation, and economic cooperation.

The meeting comes as part of the recently signed bilateral agreements between the U.S. and El Salvador on immigration and security cooperation, which have seen Bukele deploy troops to secure the border with Guatemala and begin transferring criminals to the mega-prison in eastern El Salvador.

Trump has expressed admiration for Bukele’s very strong stance against gang violence and his integration of deportees into the new mega-prison, which has significantly reduced crime rates in El Salvador.

The agenda for the meeting may also include a discussion on Bitcoin, given Bukele’s leadership in crypto adoption and the Trump administration’s establishment of a National Bitcoin Reserve.

“The meeting will be a testament to the Trump administration's commitment to forging strong alliances with regional leaders and addressing critical issues such as illegal immigration and violent crime with a focus on results,” a White House official told.

The upcoming meeting between Trump and Bukele is expected to signal increased interest in Bitcoin, possibly informing attitudes towards crypto globally.

Being the only country to hold over 6,100 Bitcoins and the U.S. now literally having a ‘National Bitcoin Reserve,’ such conversations could set the tone for future legislation discussions around digital assets.

In this respect, the Trump-Bukele meeting could swing a major blow whose outcome paves the way for Bitcoin’s future price surge.
