Honduras election: Why has Trump threatened to cut off aid?

In Honduras, the National Electoral Council (CNE) is conducting a manual recount of votes from the November 30th presidential election, which is considered a "technical tie." The close race has prompted concern from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has endorsed right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura. Trump has threatened to cut off U.S. aid to Honduras if Asfura does not win, accusing the CNE of manipulating the outcome. Asfura's main opponent is Salvador Nasralla, a centrist reformer. Rixi Moncada is the candidate for the left-wing ruling party. The CNE has called for patience due to technical difficulties in vote counting.
