Honduran President Xiomara Castro has accused President Trump of interfering in Honduras’s recent election and said an “electoral coup” is occurring. Honduran election officials are still processing ballots from the November 30 election after numerous delays. The Trump-backed candidate Nasry Asfura has a narrow lead over Salvador Nasralla, who has also alleged fraud. President Xiomara Castro spoke on Tuesday.

President Xiomara Castro: “In this election, the people were subjected to coercion, blackmail, extortion, tricks, fraud and the manipulation of the preliminary results transmission system. These threats are a direct attack on the popular will.”
