"How did Ambassador Johnson's background and appointment reflect US foreign policy under the Trump administration, and what were the main policy areas of cooperation?"

"Johnson's pragmatism, prioritizing security cooperation and alignment with Bukele's policies over human rights concerns, exemplified Trump's approach to El Salvador. This contrasted sharply with the previous administration's stance, leading to improved bilateral relations in security matters, yet sparking criticism regarding human rights violations and potential undermining of democratic norms. The awarding of Salvadoran honors underscored this close, albeit controversial, relationship."
