Honduras president alleges ‘electoral coup’ under way amid Trump ‘interference’
AI Summary
Honduran President Xiomara Castro has alleged an "electoral coup" is underway following the recent presidential election on November 30th. Castro claims interference from former U.S. President Donald Trump has influenced the delayed vote count, which shows right-wing candidate Nasry "Tito" Asfura narrowly leading Salvador Nasralla. Trump openly supported Asfura and controversially pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, an Asfura ally convicted in the U.S. on drug trafficking charges. Castro condemned Trump's pre-election statements against Liberal party candidate Rixi Moncada, who is currently in third place, claiming they violated Honduran sovereignty. She accused conservatives in Washington of aligning with drug trafficking and organized crime.
