Bukele proposes swap of deported Venezuelans for prisoners with Maduro

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has proposed a prisoner exchange with Venezuela. In return for the release of 252 Venezuelans currently detained in El Salvador's prison, Bukele is demanding that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro release an equal number of "political prisoners". Bukele emphasizes that the Venezuelan prisoners have committed no crime, unlike many of the Venezuelans detained in El Salvador. Bukele also implies that the Venezuelan prisoners are being held for their opposition to Maduro's government, which he refers to as "electoral fraud". This proposal has drawn international attention, with El Salvador coming under scrutiny for accepting Venezuelans and Salvadorans deported by the US.
