Trump decides on sending imprisoned US nationals to El Salvador’s high-security prison

US President Donald Trump is ready to send imprisoned US nationals to El Salvador’s high-security prison.

According to Trump, he would be very happy if the US could get El Salvador to take in some American-born, dangerous criminals.

“I’d love that,” Trump told reporters on Sunday aboard Air Force One when asked about a proposal from El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, to house convicted US citizens in the country’s high-security mega prison.

“If they can house these horrible criminals for a lot less money than it costs us, I am all for it, but I’d only do it according to the law,” Trump added.

“We have some horrible criminals, American-grown and born.

“I think if we could get El Salvador or somebody to take them, I’d be very happy with it, but I have to see what the law says.”
