Bukele's Second Term Begins Amid Controversy and Criticism

The Biden administration has shifted its stance on El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, prioritizing cooperation on migration over previous concerns about his authoritarian governance. This change is marked by a high-level U.S. delegation attending Bukele's inauguration, reflecting the administration's focus on reducing migration from El Salvador, which has seen a significant drop due to Bukele's crackdown on gangs. Despite past criticisms, the U.S. now seeks to work with Bukele to address migration and security issues.
