U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Foreign Minister Alexandra Hill Tinoco of El Salvador have signed a Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Strategic Civil Nuclear Cooperation (NCMOU). This agreement aims to advance peaceful nuclear cooperation between the two nations.
The United States and El Salvador share a long-standing diplomatic relationship, with cooperation in security, energy, and commerce. The NCMOU is intended as an initial step towards establishing a robust civil nuclear partnership. The goals include enhancing energy security, promoting mutual prosperity through expanded economic cooperation, and ensuring high standards of nuclear safety, security, and nonproliferation.
"NCMOUs are important diplomatic tools developed during President Trump’s first term in office that lay the foundation for expanding strategic ties between the United States and its partners thereby making the United States safer, stronger, and more prosperous through the promotion of U.S. industry and workforce."
