Investing.com -- In a recent conversation in the Oval Office, President Trump and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele addressed issues of immigration and deportation, focusing on a specific case of an El Salvador citizen who was a member of MS-13. The individual, previously residing in the United States, had been deported following a Supreme Court ruling, which unanimously stated that neither the Secretary of State nor the President could be compelled to forcibly retrieve a citizen of El Salvador from El Salvador.
The conversation also touched on the topic of homegrown criminals, with President Trump suggesting that he would be open to deporting violent individuals, even if they were U.S. citizens. The President noted that the laws on this matter were currently being studied.
In the discussion, President Trump also addressed the issue of foreign policy, stating that no court in the United States has the right to conduct the foreign policy of the country. This followed a question about a district court judge’s attempt to compel the administration to return a deported citizen of El Salvador back to the U.S.
The conversation also included discussions on the state of the U.S. economy and foreign relations. President Trump praised the investment by Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA ), a major tech company, in the U.S., stating that it was one of the biggest announcements ever. He also touched upon the need for the U.S. to produce its own pharmaceuticals and drugs.
Regarding Iran, President Trump stated that while Iran could potentially be a great country, it must not possess nuclear weapons. He suggested that harsh action may be necessary if Iran continues its pursuit of nuclear armament.
Finally, President Trump discussed trade relations with China and the European Union, criticizing past U.S. policies that allowed these entities to take advantage of the country. He expressed his desire for fair trade practices and insisted that the U.S. should no longer foot the bill for NATO.
