This proposal became public when secretary of State\u2064 Marco Rubio highlighted an offer from \u200cSalvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who suggested that El Salvador could accommodate dangerous U.S. criminals, including\u2063 those with U.S. citizenship and legal residency. Rubio described\u200c this offer as \u200can act of friendship toward \u2062the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who initially seemed unaware of the proposition, quickly endorsed the concept, arguing that it would \u2063be\u200b more cost-effective to have other \u200bcountries handle the incarceration\u2064 of such individuals. He referred to these offenders as &#8220;sick people&#8221; and noted that\u200b sending them abroad could serve as a deterrent. \u200bThough,Trump admitted he was uncertain about the legality of such actions,stating,&#8221;If we had the legal right to do it,I would do it in a heartbeat.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Rubio&#8217;s\u2062 tour across Latin America focused on discussions about the Trump administration&#8217;s immigration policies, emphasizing the acceptance\u200d of deported criminals by Bukele&#8217;s government, not only from El Salvador but also individuals from other nations with criminal backgrounds.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump backs jailing US criminal &lsquo;animals&rsquo; in foreign prisons<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1975637\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> backed the idea of sending violent U.S. criminals to be held in foreign prisons as opposed to U.S. jails Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The president&rsquo;s comments came as he was signing two executive orders in the Oval Office regarding the Middle East, including one expanding his &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mike-waltz-warns-ceasefire-in-gaza-will-not-bring-permanent-peace-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Mike Waltz warns ceasefire in Gaza will not bring permanent peace - Washington Examiner\">maximum pressure&#038;rdquo<\/a>; campaign against Iran.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3292730\/all-executive-orders-actions-trump-first-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FULL LIST OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS, ACTIONS, AND PROCLAMATIONS TRUMP HAS MADE AS PRESIDENT<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele had &ldquo;offered to house in his jails dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those of U.S. citizenship and legal residents.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Rubio called Bukele&rsquo;s offer &ldquo;an act of extraordinary friendship for our country.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump himself appeared not to be aware that Rubio had announced the proposal but quickly threw his support behind the idea, arguing that it would be cheaper to pay other countries to jail violent criminals rather than house them in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These are sick people,&rdquo; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-biden-claims-twice-that-350-million-americans-have-been-vaccinated-more-than-u-s-population\/\" title=\"WATCH: Biden Claims Twice That 350 Million Americans Have Been Vaccinated, More Than U.S. Population\">president told reporters<\/a>. &ldquo;If we could get them out of our country, we have other countries that would take them.
