Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele proposed a prisoner swap to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Sunday that involves the over 200 suspected Tren de Aragua gang members deported by the United States in March.
In an X post, Bukele outlined the proposal, which includes El Salvador handing over the 252 Venezuelan migrants deported by President Donald Trump for the same number of “political prisoners” held by the Maduro regime.
“I want to propose a humanitarian agreement that includes the repatriation of 100% of the 252 Venezuelans who were deported, in exchange for the release and delivery of an identical number (252) of the thousands of political prisoners that you hold,” Bukele said.
