First let me take a selfie, El Salvador's president tells UN before calling the body obsolete
1 / 2El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele takes a selfie from the UN rostrumEl Salvador's President Nayib Bukele takes a selfie from the UN rostrum United Nations - El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, whose social media savvy helped win him power earlier this year, took a selfie before his maiden speech at the UN General Assembly, which he called"obsolete" and suggested scrapping.
"Believe me, many more people will see that selfie when I share it than will listen to this speech -- I hope I took a good one." He traded on his telegenic looks and promises of a break with the past, but critics have called him light on policy and substance.On Wednesday, he held his first meeting with US President Donald Trump, a fellow prolific social media user and self-styled iconoclast whom Bukele has aggressively courted -- a contrast with his predecessor Salvador Sanchez Ceren, a leftist former guerrilla.
"We're hoping that this meeting will only strengthen our relationship even more, and I think it will because, you know, President Trump is very nice and cool, and I'm nice and cool, too. We both use Twitter a lot, so, you know, we'll get along."
