Matt Gaetz Who Proposed Bill To Collect Federal Income Taxes In Bitcoin Now Wants Blinken To Downgrade US Travel Advisory To El Salvador
The letter noted El Salvador's marked improvement in law and order under President The Congressional El Salvador Caucus urged the Joe Biden administration to ease El Salvador's travel advisory to Level 1 from the current Level 3.
國會薩爾瓦多小組敦促喬拜登政府將薩爾瓦多的旅行建議從當前的三級降至一級。
What Happened: Led by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), the bipartisan caucus sent a letter to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, requesting the government to ease the advisory to the lowest Level 1, which corresponds to "Exercise Normal Precautions."
簡介：由 Matt Gaetz（R-Fla。）和 Vicente Gonzalez（D-Texas）領導的兩黨議會小組致函國務卿布林肯（Anthony Blinken），要求政府將旅行建議降至最低的一級，這相當於“行使正常預防措施”。
Currently, the advisory is set to Level 3, or "Reconsider Travel." the second-highest rating.
目前，旅行建議等級爲三級，即“重新考慮旅行”，爲第二高等級。
The letter noted El Salvador's marked improvement in law and order under President Nayib Bukele's regime and called it the "safest" country in the Western Hemisphere.
該信件指出，在總統納伊布·布克萊（Nayib Bukele）的領導下，薩爾瓦多的法治和秩序有了顯著改善，並稱其爲西半球最“安全”的國家。
"Since 2015, El Salvador's homicide rate has been steadily declining, from a high of 104 per 100,000 inhabitants to 2.4 in 2024. This homicide rate is less than nearly every major city in the United States," the letter read.
信中寫道：“自2015年以來，薩爾瓦多的謀殺率一直在穩步下降，從每10萬居民的104高點下降至2024年的2.4。這個謀殺率低於美國幾乎所有主要城市的水平。”
For the curious, Gaetz established the Congressional El Salvador Caucus in July, following a congressional trip to El Salvador to attend President Bukele's second inauguration.
好奇的話，Gaetz 於 7 月成立了國會薩爾瓦多小組，隨後進行了一次前往薩爾瓦多參加布克萊總統第二次就職典禮的國會訪問。
