US Secretary of State Marco Rubio left El Salvador on Tuesday with an agreement from that country’s president to accept deportees from the US of any nationality, including violent American criminals now imprisoned in the United States.

President Nayib Bukele “has agreed to the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world,” Mr Rubio said at a signing ceremony for an unrelated civil nuclear agreement with El Salvador’s foreign minister.
