Secretary of State Mark Rubio announced last week The President of Salvador suggested getting rid of the US departments from any nationality, including US citizens, but the deal took place on the same day as a less advertised proposal from the US: nuclear energy.
Foreign Minister of Salvador Alyaksandr Hill Tinok said that the Civil Cooperation Agreement with the United States will help include Central America “at competitive prices, not depending on geopolitics and oil prices.”
“The experience that (my US) on civilian energy will give us all the tools we need to teach our people, to prepare our experts of Salvador, who will manage the technical and regulatory aspects of this transition – this unprecedented transition,” said Hill Tonoco.
Rubio accepted the nuclear cooperation agreement just before announced that President Salvador Nabi Bokele also agreed to pick up deported and Americans who were imprisoned and “imprisoned”.

According to Edward Ki, who in 2022 was appointed a potential victory for national security for the United States, in 2022 he was appointed to the Nuclear Energy Energy Advisory Committee.
“Nuclear power plant is a hundred-year transaction. If the country in Central America signed up for Russian or Chinese reactor, it wouldn't be good for the US national security in the region,” said Washington, based on Washington Consulting Group Economics. “This is especially concerned because these Russian and Chinese nuclear energy transactions usually include broader government arrangements to the government.”
The United States The largest manufacturer of nuclear energyAccording to the World Nuclear Association, it is about 30% of the total worldwide.
Fans Say nuclear energy is one of the most environmentally friendly, reliable existing energy resources, but critics consider it dangerous, futile and expensive.
Secretary of Energy Chris Wright promised to give priorities in production Nuclear energy and liquefied natural gas under Trump administration. Investors cheered, and the shares jumped when the Wright, a fossil executive company, were distinguished.
Partners' countries must sign what is known as the 123 agreement with the United States before the US licensed significant exports of nuclear material and equipment. Essentially, agreements are intended to promote common nuclear non -proliferation and security goals between the US and its partners, stated the State Department On its information page, which outlines these agreements.
The US had 25 such agreements as of February 3, including the UK, Singapore, Norway and others. Salvador will become the first and only country from Central America in this group.
Salvador conducts nuclear energy – signing a similar agreement with Argentina in October – at a time when barriers that hindered the smaller countries may retreat, according to Alfonso Blanca, the former executive director of the interstate Latin American organization.
“There is a significant opportunity to revive nuclear energy through small reactors, and this technology requires demonstration places in countries that lack developed nuclear capabilities,” said Blanca, which is now working in a dialogue based in Washington. “This can represent a potential development path for El Salvador.”
Blanca said that Salvador and most other countries have limited purchasing opportunities for the necessary fuel for nuclear energy, as only eight countries have technical potential for uranium enrichment.
“For El Salvador, which positions itself as a regional pioneer in the use of new nuclear technology, it can present an interesting opportunity, especially given that such infrastructure projects have a significant impact on overflows on job creation and the development of local potential,” the Blanca said.
But while the country's mega-master has already built and ready for tens of thousands, its nuclear plans are in a nomination state.
This means that Sal Salvador is unlikely to close the nuclear energy as long as President Trump holds the position, according to Francis Monali, the director of Latin America on the energy program at the Institute of State Policy of the University of Rice.
“This is something that will probably not happen during the Trump administration, and it will take a long time to materialize when it materializes,” Mononei said.
