The post U.S President Trump to Meet El Salvador President Bukele on April 14 – Is Bitcoin on the Agenda? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Big things are happening at the White House this Monday, April 14, as President Donald Trump is set to host El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele for an official visit—a meeting that could bring two pro-Bitcoin leaders closer. Since both leaders support Bitcoin, could this meeting boost BTC’s price with a big announcement?
U.S.–El Salvador Meeting
President Bukele will be the first leader from the Western Hemisphere to visit Trump at the White House during his current term. The meeting comes at a tense time, as the U.S. is placing high tariffs on many countries, creating global economic pressure.
Several nations have already spoken with Trump, leading to a 90-day pause on tariffs, except for China.
While El Salvador, however, is still facing a 10% U.S. tariff, which is likely to be one of the topics during the meeting.
Bukele is also gaining attention worldwide for his tough actions against crime. He has jailed nearly 2% of El Salvador’s population in a strong crackdown on gangs like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua.
Could Bitcoin Be a Main Topic?
Many people are also asking if Bitcoin will be part of the meeting. El Salvador became the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender. According to Bitbo, the country now holds over 6,089 Bitcoins, worth around $508 million.
Trump has also shown interest in digital money and financial freedom. So it wouldn’t be a surprise if Bitcoin is mentioned during the talks. If it is, this could bring a lot of attention to Bitcoin and possibly affect its price.
As of now, Bitcoin is hovering around $83,340, reflecting a rise of 1% seen in the last 24 hours, with a market cap hitting $1.65 trillion
