El Salvador president: 'Nobody cares' about US impeachment inquiry
The Hill ^ | 09/27/19 | Marty Johnson

El Salvador's President, Nayib Bukele, dismissed the U.S. political storm over a whistleblower report alleging President Trump tried to persuade Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, saying "nobody cares" about it.

"You're wasting airtime talking about something that nobody cares about," Bukele told Fox News' Martha MacCallum in an interview, after first saying he did not want to get into U.S. politics.

Bukele, however, noted he would be more careful about his conversations with President Trump when asked by MacCallum about whether he would be worried that any talk would be released to the public.

"Now I'll be more careful," he said.

Bukele also addressed the asylum agreement that El Salvador and the United States signed late last week to expand its capacity to accept asylum-seekers.

Bukele stated that the onus of asylum should not fall entirely on the shoulders of the U.S.

"We have a problem that we need to fix," Bukele said. "In El Salvador, we have been sending migrants to the United States and elsewhere since the 80s."

Critics of the agreement spearheaded by Trump have cited El Salvador's high murder rate and proliferation of gang violence.

Bukele addressed these issues, claiming that he's decreased the murder rate "60 percent" by fighting the gangs "head-on." He believes that El Salvadorans' dreams "can come true at home," without having to migrate to countries like the U.S.

Nancy Pelosi has made our country a laughing stock internationally and moreover, has damaged our national security as foreign leaders will not want to discuss things with the US President candidly - and not just his President, but any President. Yet she, of course, accused the President of what she herself has done.

Interesting fact about El Salvador is that they use US currency as their official national currency.

That statement carries more importance than the surface. It signifies a real problem which points to the Deep State.

Senor Bukele gets it. I imagine Trump persuaded him to get it. It’s about time these kleptocrasies in Central America fixed their own countries.

Deep State/State Dept. - same thing. The globalist dopes in their foam-mouthed frenzy to ding President Trump have effectively destroyed all diplomacy between/amongst the Unites States and any foreign government going forward. It won't matter if the demoncraps somehow win in 2020, nobody will ever trust any of our ambassadors or state department to speak plainly with them again.

Remember a few years ago that Honduras impeached and removed a would-be dictator, and Obama and Hillary did all they could to force them to take him back... to the point they were shipping weapons in the “other” Fast and Furious operation.
