EXCLUSIVE: New details on Trump's quid pro quo to use El Salvador's mega prison
-El Salvador's president Bukele demanded the US hand over 9 MS-13 leaders in exchange for access to the prison
-During a March phone call with Bukele, Marco Rubio noted a problem: some of these men were "informants" to the US & under US protection, officials said.
-To deport them, AG Pam Bondi would need to terminate the DOJ's arrangements with those men, Rubio said. He assured Bukele that Bondi would complete that process and the US would hand over the MS-13 leaders
-In promising to terminate the informant arrangements, current and former Justice Dept officials say Rubio threatened to undercut years of work by U.S. law enforcement to apprehend and secure the cooperation of high-ranking members of MS-13, one of the world’s most deadly gangs
-Nixing the agreements also threatens to damage the credibility of the Justice Dept, which routinely relies on informants to build cases against high-level criminals, officials said
-At least three of the MS-13 leaders Bukele requested had divulged incriminating information about members of Bukele's government, officials said. One of them — César López Larios, was sent back to El Salvador two days after the Rubio-Bukele phone call.
-“The deal is a deep betrayal of U.S. law enforcement, whose agents risked their lives to apprehend the gang members,” said Douglas Farah, a U.S. contractor who worked with federal officials to investigate and help dismantle the MS-13 gang
-The State Department dismissed criticism of Rubio’s dealmaking, saying the secretary’s diplomacy allowed the US to deport hundreds of alleged members of the gang Tren de Aragua to El Salvador. "Americans are safer as a result of these incredible efforts.”

“Zelenskyy and his team went to the White House hoping to persuade Trump to supply them with long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles, but the US president ultimately declined to do so.”
“According to a European official with knowledge of the meeting, Trump told Zelenskyy that Putin had told him the conflict was a ‘special operation, not even a war’, adding that the Ukrainian leader needed to cut a deal or face destruction.”
“The official said that Trump told Zelenskyy he was losing the war, warning: ‘If [Putin] wants it, he will destroy you.’”
“Zelenskyy was very negative” following the meeting, according to one of the officials, adding that European leaders were “not optimistic but pragmatic with planning next steps”.
