Honduras May Cancel Military Cooperation with U.S. Unless Trump Cancels Mass Expulsion Plans

HeadlineJan 02, 2025

Honduran President Xiomara Castro has warned that she might seek to cancel military cooperation with the United States if President-elect Trump makes good on his promises of mass deportations, denial of asylum claims and family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border. Castro made the warning in a New Year’s Day message in which she called for constructive dialogue with the incoming administration.

President Xiomara Castro: “Faced with a hostile attitude of mass expulsion of our brothers, we would have to consider a change in our policies of cooperation with the United States, especially in the military arena, where, without paying a cent for decades, they maintain military bases in our territory, which in this case would lose all reason to exist in Honduras.”
