00:00I just landed at the airport in San Salvador a little while ago.
00:03I'm now en route into the city, looking forward to meeting with the team from the American Embassy.
00:10And I do want to thank our Foreign Service officers and the whole team at this embassy and embassies around the world
00:16for all the good work they do on behalf of our country.
00:20I'm proud to co-chair the bipartisan Foreign Service Caucus that stands up for the men and women
00:27who are serving our country overseas and at home in the State Department.
00:32After that, I hope to meet with some high-level government officials from El Salvador.
00:38As I've said before, the goal of my visit is to talk to people here about the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
00:46I told his wife and his family I would do everything possible to bring him home,
00:53and we're going to keep working at this until we're successful.
00:56I also hope to have the chance to meet with him, but we'll have a better idea if that works out a little later on.
