El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele shared details of his phone conversation with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on social media platform X on Thursday, noting a range of topics that touch on their mutual interests and political agendas. Bukele remarked:

I congratulated him on his sweeping victory on Tuesday, and we discussed the strong mandate he received from the American people and the significance his election holds for the world.

“We had an interesting conversation about his podcast strategy, the bullet that nearly killed him, the incredible people around him, the sometimes harmful effects of U.S. aid funds, Soros-backed NGOs [non-governmental organizations], and our shared commitment to tackling the challenges ahead,” the Salvadoran leader added.
