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.”
