Trump Welcomes Honduras’s New President As US Influence Push Widens

Donald Trump has met with Honduras’s newly sworn-in president, Nasry Asfura, casting the encounter as the start of a deepening alliance focused on drug trafficking and irregular migration.

Trump said the two met on Saturday at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, just days after Asfura took office following a razor-thin election victory. In public remarks, Trump leaned into familiarity, describing Asfura, as a friend and political kindred spirit.
