Donald Trump slams El Salvador's Nayib Bukele as MAGA Republicans praise him

A new video of Republican Matt Gaetz praising El Salvador’s crime crackdown seems to contradict Donald Trump’s claim that President Bukele is sending "all of his criminals" to the United States. In a video released on Sunday to Bukele's X account, Gaetz thanked the Salvadoran administration for ensuring inmates "are not harming the people of El Salvador or the United States". During his speech at the Republican National Convention on July 18, Trump referred to Bukele’s strict measures against crime in El Salvador. “In El Salvador, murders are down by 70 per cent. Why are they down? (Bukele) would have you believe it's because he's trained murderers to be wonderful people," Trump said. "No, they're down because they're sending their murderers to the United States of America."
