What happened during Bukele's meeting with President Trump?

Georgia Howe 0:18
President Trump hosts El Salvador's president at the White House, tech giant NVIDIA makes a major manufacturing announcement, and Meta stands accused of being a monopoly in a landmark antitrust trial that kicks off today. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Monday, April 14th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 0:41
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele said he won't return an illegal alien who was reportedly wrongly deported from Maryland back to the U.S.

Why is El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele refusing to return an illegal alien to the U.S.?

Nayib Bukele 0:49
The question is preposterous. How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don't have the power to return him to the United States. We just turned the murder capital of the world into the safest country in the Western Hemisphere and you want us to go back? into releasing criminals so we can go back to being the murder capital of the world.
Tim Pierce 1:08
Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has the latest. The comments came during a White House meeting with President Trump. The president agreed with Bukele, accusing reporters of wanting criminals released. This comes after the Supreme Court ruled Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation to El Salvador was improper, citing a judge's 2019 order barring his deportation.

What are the details of the deportation controversy involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia?

Tim Pierce 1:27
White House advisor Stephen Miller is pushed back, saying Garcia was sent to the right place.
Stephen Miller 1:31
With respect to you, He's a citizen of El Salvador. So it's very arrogant even for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens as a starting point. As two immigration courts found that he was a member of MS-13. When President Trump declared MS-13 to be a foreign terrorist organization.
Tim Pierce 1:52
A federal judge disagreed, calling the gang allegation unsubstantiated. Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi says the U.S. will provide a plane, but returning Garcia is up to El Salvador.
Georgia Howe 2:03
Today's meeting with Bukele comes after the U.S. deported 11 more violent migrants, including alleged gang members. Seven of the deportees were tied to Tren de Aragua and one to MS-13. Officials say the other deportees had records for rape, robbery, and terror threats. They were flown to El Salvador's high-security terrorism confinement center, where they were met with armed guards. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the deportations part of a growing U.S.-El Salvador alliance, calling it a model for regional security.
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 2:33
Another tech giant is bringing production back to the U.S., presumably to dodge Trump's tariffs.

How is the U.S.-El Salvador alliance addressing violent migrants and gang members?

Cabot Phillips 2:38
Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips has more. Major chipmaker Nvidia announced today it will partner with companies like TSMC, Foxconn, and Amcor to build its powerful Blackwell chips in Arizona and AI systems in Texas. CEO Jensen Huang called it a historic first, saying the engines of the world's AI infrastructure are now being built in America. Over the next four years, NVIDIA plans to produce up to half a trillion dollars in AI hardware on U.S. soil, boosting domestic supply chains and manufacturing resilience. President Trump commented on the historic announcement earlier today.
Donald Trump 3:11
I want to thank Jensen and all of the people that we deal with. They're great people. They're brilliant people. And without tariffs, they wouldn't be doing it.

What major manufacturing announcement did Nvidia make?

Cabot Phillips 3:19
The news comes as the president intensifies tariffs on China and secures massive chip investments, including TSMC's $100 billion pledge earlier in the year. Nvidia stock rose nearly 3% following the announcement.
Georgia Howe 3:32
Facebook's parent company faces accusations of being a monopoly in a landmark antitrust trial that kicked off today. Daily Wire deputy managing editor Tim Rice has the details.
Tim Pierce 3:42
The FTC says that Meta purchased Instagram and WhatsApp to crush competition. If the FTC wins, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg could be forced to break up the company, making Instagram and WhatsApp separate entities. Zuckerberg, along with former COO Sheryl Sandberg, are expected to take the stand.
