According to CryptoSlate, Democratic Senators Chris Van Hollen, Tim Kaine, and Alex Padilla have jointly proposed the Salvadoran Accountability Act, calling for sanctions against President Nayib Bukele and his cabinet members. The bill accuses the government of violating human rights and abusing Bitcoin, demands the freezing of relevant personnel's assets in the United States, denial of visas, and suspension of economic aid, and also requires the State Council to submit a detailed report on the government's use of cryptocurrency within 90 days.
Bukele responded on social media, stating that the proposal&34; Absurd&34; And imply that the motives of the US are impure. It is worth noting that Bukele has had frequent interactions with Trump recently. In April, he went to the White House to discuss immigration issues, and in June, Trump advisors also discussed the possibility of cryptocurrency cooperation with him. El Salvador became the first country in the world to use Bitcoin as a legal tender in 2021.
