The visit, according to Bloomberg, confirmed by Bukele’s office on March 28, 2025, centers on a U.S.-El Salvador deal in which the Central American nation accepted 238 alleged members of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua and 23 MS-13 affiliates deported from the U.S. in March.
The U.S. paid $6 million to house the detainees in El Salvador’s 40,000-capacity Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT). Discussions may also address cryptocurrency policies, as both leaders champion bitcoin ( BTC). Bukele adopted bitcoin as legal tender in 2021 and holds over 6,131 BTC ($504 million), while Trump established a U.S. strategic bitcoin reserve (SBR) during the first week of March.
Bukele’s administration continues to buy BTC daily, reaffirming its commitment in a March 2025 social media post: “We’re not stopping.” Initiatives like “Bitcoin City,” a proposed tax-free crypto hub powered by geothermal energy from a volcano, aim to position El Salvador as a global cryptocurrency innovator. According to the Bloomberg editorial, Donald Trump Jr. attended Bukele’s inauguration in June.
If realized, Bukele would be the first Western Hemisphere leader to receive a formal White House visit under Trump’s current term, signaling strengthened bilateral ties. The meeting highlights overlapping priorities on security and emerging economic policies. “I’ll be bringing several cans of Diet Coke,” Bukele jokingly remarked on X about the meeting.
