El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has offered the US to outsource its prison system to the Central American country. "We're willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted US citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee," Bukele posted on X. He added that the fee would be "relatively low for US but significant for us".
