U.S. Considers Relocation of Convicts Abroad

Former U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the possibility of transferring American prisoners to foreign governments. El Salvador's offer to house these criminals was praised by Secretary of State Marco Rubio as generous. Considerations are underway by the Trump administration to explore this option further.

In a bold proposal, former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed openness to transferring American criminals to foreign stations, noting some nations' willingness to take them.
