> El Salvador receives millions of dollars in aid from the US.

This has been true for decades. Not anymore. A couple of weeks back the US gov said that it would stop all USAID funding and give it instead to ONGs in El Salvador which are basically the opposition or anti-Bukele.

I assume that there are other ways that the US gov sends "aid" but I'm sure these will also stop soon enough.

Wow this is the REAL story then. I had no idea why this move to BTC came out of nowhere and passed as law so quickly. Really scummy move from the US, using aid money to bully small countries and enforce its will. Too many strings come with US foreign “aid”, it’s more like predatory lending. I hope this works out for El Salvador.
