As lead changes in knife-edge Honduran election, will Trump fail to get his way?
AI Summary
In Honduras, the presidential election between Salvador Nasralla and Nasry Asfura remains undecided as ballot counting continues. Nasralla currently holds a slight lead. Former US President Donald Trump has expressed support for Asfura, allegedly influencing the election through veiled threats of withholding funds and unsubstantiated fraud claims, drawing criticism from Honduran analysts who view it as disrespectful interference. Adding to the controversy, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, convicted of drug smuggling in the US, was unexpectedly pardoned by Trump and released from prison after serving only one year of a 45-year sentence. Hernández's release occurred after Trump urged Honduran voters to cast their ballots for Asfura.
