SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) – El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele on Sunday proposed a deal to send 252 Venezuelans deported from the U.S. and imprisoned in his country to Venezuela.
In a post on X, Bukele asked that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in return hand over 252 “of the thousands of the political prisoners you are holding.”
The Salvadoran leader did not say whether the prisoners would be incarcerated again upon the exchange.
