U.S. President Donald Trump participates in a bilateral meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C., Apr. 14, 2025. The meeting comes as the White House faces pressure over the case of Kilmar Ábrego, a Maryland father wrongfully rendered and jailed in El Salvador. A U.S. court has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate Ábrego's return, but both Trump and Bukele said they will not. Photo Brendan Smialowski/AFP
