Saturday’s swearing in ceremony in the capital San Salvador took place amid security concerns after police said they had thwarted a bomb threat. Among the attendees at the ceremony were Argentine President Javier Milei and Donald Trump Jr, the son of the former U.S. president, Donald Trump, who arrived in El Salvador on Friday. El Presidente Javier Milei y la Secretaria General de la Presidencia, Karina Milei, saludan al Presidente de El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, en su segunda investidura. With safer neighborhoods, public concern has now turned to the economy, which will likely be Bukele’s biggest challenge in his second term. El Salvador’s public debt, meanwhile, has skyrocketed on Bukele’s watch to more than $30 billion, or 84% of GDP.
