Tensions over Trump’s foreign policy have been evident on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s trip to El Salvador, where he is seeking to counter the president’s immigration narrative.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom during a meeting at the Divina Providencia Hospital facility in San Salvador on April 9.
“I want to be respectful of the confidentiality because there are literally individuals’ jobs that are at stake,” Newsom said when asked about his private meetings at the embassy. It’s not unusual for appointees or U.S. government workers to refrain from discussing foreign policy. Further details about the president’s decision and how it would be carried out remain unclear.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the number of Salvadorans immigrating illegally to the U.S. at the southwest border with Mexico declined in fiscal year 2018 as migration from Honduras and Guatemala soared. Border patrol agents apprehended 4,949 unaccompanied Salvadoran minors, down nearly 56%, and 13,669 family units, a 46% percent drop from one year prior.
“I’ve followed him since he was mayor of San Francisco,” Bukele said. “He’s a very smart, cool, interesting person.”He offered a diplomatic response when asked about Trump.
