Those "margaritas" appear to have been staged by Bukele [1].
> "When I first sat down with Kilmar, there were just glasses of water on the table," Van Hollen explained. "Then, someone from the Salvadoran government came over and placed two glasses with ice and sugar—or salt—on the rims, clearly staged to look like margaritas."
> "If you look at the one they put in front of Kilmar, it actually had a little less liquid," Van Hollen said. "To try to make it look, I assume, like he drank out of it."
...
> Van Hollen noted that drinking a salt or sugar-rimmed glass would leave a gap. But on the photos shared by Bukele, there is no gap—evidence, he said, that neither he nor Abrego García touched the alleged margaritas.
