The United States commends the work of electoral observers and expresses its anticipation in working with President-elect Bukele and Vice President-elect Felix Ulloa after their inauguration in June. The relationship between the United States and the people of El Salvador is highly valued, having been forged over 160 years and built on shared values, regional ties, and family connections.
It is important to note that events in El Salvador have a direct impact on U.S. interests both domestically and internationally. Recognizing this, the United States emphasizes the need for collaboration in order to achieve our full potential and overcome the greatest obstacles in our hemisphere and globally.
Looking forward, the United States will continue to prioritize key areas such as good governance, inclusive economic prosperity, fair trial guarantees, and human rights in El Salvador under our Root Causes Strategy. These priorities reflect our commitment to fostering positive change and addressing the root causes of challenges faced by the region.
By working together, the United States and El Salvador can further strengthen their partnership and collectively address the issues that impact both nations. This collaboration will not only benefit the people of El Salvador but also contribute to regional stability and prosperity.
The United States remains dedicated to supporting El Salvador and looks forward to a productive and mutually beneficial relationship with President-elect Bukele, Vice President-elect Felix Ulloa, and the people of El Salvador.
