WASHINGTON: President Trump stepped up his extraordinary threats to send Americans to foreign jails, saying he would love to deport "homegrown" US citizens who commit violent crimes to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador.
Trump raised the idea in talks on Monday with Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele - the self-proclaimed "world's coolest dictator" who has already taken illegal migrants from the US into his country's jails.
"I call them homegrown criminals," Trump said according to excerpts of an interview.
"The ones that grew up and something went wrong and they hit people over the head with a baseball bat and push people into subways" the US president added. "We are looking into it and we want to do it. I would love to do it."
