The Trump administration has hit out at a Democratic senator trying to return a wrongly-deported Maryland resident to the U.S.
Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador on Wednesday to meet with the country’s vice president and push to free Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
But White House press secretary Karoline Leavittt reiterated the administration’s position that Garcia would not be returned to America.
“It’s appalling and sad that Sen. Van Hollen and the Democrats applauding his trip to El Salvador today are incapable of having any shred of common sense or empathy for their own constituents and our citizens,” Leavitt said on Wednesday.
It comes as the Federal Reserve chair warned the Trump administration’s ever-changing tariffs on U.S. trading partners have put the central bank in a tricky position.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is visiting Donald Trump on Thursday, joining American trading partners from around the world to push for better tariffs after the president paused higher duties for 90 days.
