El Salvador's Bukele: Can't Return Man Mistakenly Deported; Global Tech Shares Gain on US Tariff Exemptions

President Donald Trump met on Monday with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele. Trump 's top advisers and Bukele said they had no basis for the small Central American nation to return a Maryland man who was wrongly deported there last month. “The question is preposterous,” Bukele said. “I don't have the power to return him to the United States.”

Global technology stocks rose on Monday after the United States exempted electronics such as smartphones and computer hardware from its steep reciprocal tariffs on China, offering relief to a sector battered by supply-chain uncertainty. Apple shares were up 5.5 percent in U.S. premarket trading. Other consumer product companies, including computer hardware makers HP and Dell Technologies, surged 6 percent and 6.8 percent, respectively, while chip giant Nvidia was up 1.8 percent as part of a broad-based recovery in semiconductor stocks.
