On Monday, the Dominican Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Government of El Salvador officially debunked a false message falsely attributed to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. The fabricated statement had purported to criticize the Dominican government and its armed forces regarding the situation at the border with Haiti.
The misinformation emerged amid heightened regional security concerns following the disappearance of four Salvadoran soldiers in Haiti. In response to the unfolding situation, Dominican President Luis Abinader explained that the recent reinforcement of the Dominican-Haitian border is intended to address the potential intensification of anti-gang operations in Haiti rather than signaling an increased threat to the Dominican Republic.
Additionally, President Abinader addressed potential diplomatic visits, stating that his administration would welcome President Bukele and provide full support should the Salvadoran leader choose to visit the border area in connection with the search and rescue efforts for the missing military personnel.
