El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, is on a roll. At home, he enjoys an approval rating of around 83 percent, according to recent polls. His profile is rising abroad, too. Bukele’s follower count on TikTok alone—10.8 million—is much larger than El Salvador’s population, and a sizeable portion of his social media content is in English. In the United States, right-wing figures appear to see Bukele as an inspiration—no small feat given El Salvador’s size. After Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump Jr. attended Bukele’s second-term inauguration last year, Carlson wrote on X that Bukele “may have the blueprint for saving the…

President Donald Trump has repeated his push for a nuclear deal with Iran in recent days, seven years after he walked away from a multilateral deal that allowed the U.S. government to monitor Iran’s weapons program. Trump has vowed to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon since announcing his candidacy in June 2015. During his first term, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the deal signed by his predecessor, President Barack Obama, and then broke his 2016 campaign promise to negotiate a new one.
