El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele was sworn in for a second term on Saturday at the National Palace in San Salvador. He is set to govern for another five years with near-total control of parliament. He was reelected in February with 85 percent of the vote.

His popularity also translated down the ballot into a near-clean sweep for his New Ideas party in the Legislative Assembly, where it took 54 out of 60 seats. Argentine President Milei and Donald Trump Jr, son of the former US president attended the ceremony.
