Trump hosts Honduras’s new president Asfura at Mar-a-Lago in US

In February 2026, Donald Trump hosted Honduras's newly inaugurated President Nasry Asfura at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Trump praised Asfura as a "friend" and highlighted the growing alliance between the US and Honduras, particularly regarding security. The two leaders discussed collaborating to combat drug trafficking, counter cartels, and deport illegal migrants. Trump had previously endorsed Asfura, claiming his support contributed to Asfura's narrow election victory. This meeting follows a recent meeting between Asfura and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, where plans for a free trade deal were announced. Asfura's election marks a shift towards conservative leadership in Latin America, contrasting with recent leftist governments in other countries.
