Bukele affirms that the US is “on time” to avoid a new civil war and offers advice to Republicans at CPAC. "We see in you a society in decline because we recognize it in ourselves," he warned.

This year, CPAC hosted Latin American leaders such as Bukele and Javier Milei of Argentina. CPAC is the nation's largest annual conservative conference, attended by activists and elected officials from the United States and beyond. Its main event will be former President Donald Trump's speech this Saturday, as in recent years.
