SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) -El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele on Thursday swore in Karla Trigueros, a captain with the Central American nation's armed forces, as education minister.

"If we want to build the country we deserve, we must break paradigms," Bukele said in a post on X.

In the post, Bukele included photos of the ceremony where Trigueros, who is also a medic, appeared in military uniform.
