El Salvador President Nayib Bukele has hinted at the possibility of a White House meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.
The market is paying close attention to the potential strengthening of bilateral relations and discussions about Bitcoin. Recently, Bukele responded with a lighthearted yet positive tone to the possibility of an invitation from Trump, signaling his openness to the idea. If the meeting takes place, Bukele would become the first Western Hemisphere leader to meet Trump at the White House during his presidency.
Both leaders share a favorable stance toward Bitcoin. Bukele made history by turning El Salvador into the world’s first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, while Trump has signed an executive order for a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the U.S. They align in viewing Bitcoin as a strategic national asset.
Should the White House meeting materialize, it could advance U.S.-El Salvador relations across diplomatic, security, and economic domains through enhanced cooperation and Bitcoin-focused discussions. In particular, their collaboration on Bitcoin could influence future global cryptocurrency policies.
