Nayib Bukele is the President of El Salvador, having been re-elected with an overwhelming 80% of the vote in 2022. He is known for his hardline stance against crime and has implemented controversial measures, including a state of emergency to combat gang violence, which has led to a significant decrease in homicides. Bukele's administration has been marked by the establishment of the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (Cecot), a mega-prison that symbolizes his security strategy. His recent offer to Donald Trump to house U.S. criminals in this facility highlights his efforts to strengthen ties with the United States and position himself as a key ally in the region.
