Honduras is holding a tense presidential election on Sunday with voters choosing between a left-wing candidate and two conservatives. The election is already fraught with fears of fraud, potential protests, and even military intervention. Adding to the tension, former U.S. President Trump endorsed conservative candidate Nasry "Tito" Asfura, echoing claims that Honduras could become another Venezuela. Trump also suggested potential consequences for U.S. aid depending on the election's outcome. Hondurans are reportedly fearful of post-election unrest due to widespread crime, corruption, and deep divisions among the candidates and their supporters.
