El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele May Meet Trump as Bitcoin Interests Align

El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele May Meet Trump as Bitcoin Interests Align

The potential meeting, while not officially confirmed, comes amid increasing alignment between the two leaders on issues like border security and Bitcoin policy.

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has hinted at an upcoming visit to US President Donald Trump at the White House. The move has fueled speculation about closer cooperation between the two pro-Bitcoin leaders.

Although no official agenda has been released, if confirmed, the meeting would mark Bukele as the first Western Hemisphere leader to visit Trump at the White House during his current term.

Can Bitcoin Improve Diplomatic Relationship Between US and El Salvador?

On March 28, Bukele reacted to a report claiming that Trump plans to invite him to Washington.

Responding on social media, Bukele confirmed his willingness to visit and jokingly noted that he would bring “several cans of Diet Coke” — a nod to Trump’s well-known beverage of choice.

The two leaders have enjoyed a friendly relationship since Trump’s return to office. They reportedly spoke after the inauguration, and Trump later thanked Bukele publicly, commending his “understanding of this horrible situation” regarding US border issues.

Meanwhile, the possible visit follows El Salvador’s acceptance of deported Venezuelan gang members from the US.

These individuals were held at the country’s high-security Terrorism Confinement Center. The facility was recently visited by US Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem.

President Bukele’s administration has earned international praise — and criticism — for its tough stance on crime. His crackdown on gangs has transformed El Salvador from one of the most violent nations in the world to one of the safest in Latin America.

Meanwhile, speculation is growing within the crypto community that Bitcoin may emerge as a significant topic during the leaders’ discussions. Both Bukele and Trump have openly supported Bitcoin, though their approaches differ slightly.

Bukele’s stance on Bitcoin is notably proactive. In 2021, he spearheaded the creation of the world’s first national Bitcoin reserve, which has since grown to 6,130.18 BTC—worth over $512 million.

Moreover, his pro-Bitcoin initiatives have attracted substantial foreign investments, including partnerships with prominent crypto companies like Tether.

President Trump also recently became more supportive of the top crypto asset, reversing previous skepticism.

Earlier this month, Trump authorized the establishment of a US National Bitcoin Reserve, with the federal government holding initial holdings of around 200,000 BTC.
