Nayib Bukele: El Salvador's Powerhouse Leader Taking Cues from Donald Trump's Global Strategies

Nayib Bukele, El Salvador's controversial leader, has cemented his strongman persona through a firm anti-crime agenda, aligning himself closely with Donald Trump’s administration. Under an agreement, Bukele has overseen the deportation of numerous undocumented migrants to his infamous mega-prison, Cecot. While praised for curbing gang violence, his tactics have raised serious human rights concerns, exemplifying a troubling trend towards punitive measures over judicial fairness. Bukele's collaboration with Trump bolsters both leaders’ political standing, despite wider implications for human rights globally.
