Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Thursday that crime in Venezuela and El Salvador is falling not because of the actions of their rulers, but because they are sending criminals to the United States.
In a strong speech against irregular migration, Trump assured the Republican National Convention that in El Salvador – where President Nayib Bukele is waging a war against gangs – and in Venezuela, crime was falling “because they are sending their murderers to the United States of America.”
Bukele has yet to comment on Trump’s statements.
