Nayib Bukele has been inaugurated for a second term as President of El Salvador, following a landslide victory in February where he secured 85% of the vote. The inauguration ceremony in San Salvador was attended by various international dignitaries, including Argentine President Javier Milei, who received a warm welcome. Prominent U.S. Republicans such as Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson, Matt Gaetz, and Mike Lee were also in attendance. Bukele's administration has been noted for its zero-tolerance policy on crime, which has led to a significant reduction in the country's homicide rate by 97%. Despite controversy over the constitutionality of his re-election, Bukele enjoys high approval ratings. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas led a presidential delegation to the event, reaffirming the commitment between the United States and El Salvador to address mutual concerns such as economic growth and regional security. Bukele was sworn in for another five years at the Presidential Palace, with his wife Gabriela de Bukele by his side.
At his inauguration, Bukele wears a uniform inspired - according to many - by Latin American strongman leaders. Follow: @AFpost https://t.co/wrKbwUenjg
