Honduran President Xiomara Castro Threatens to Close US Military Bases Amid Deportation Concerns
Xiomara Castro, the President of Honduras, warned that her government may consider closing American military bases in Honduras if elected President Donald Trump follows through on threats to deport large numbers of Honduran nationals. Castro criticized Washington’s expected mass deportations and expressed hope for a constructive dialogue with the new U.S. administration, emphasizing the contributions of Honduran immigrants to the U.S. economy. Additionally, U.S. officials have identified about 250,000 Hondurans who could be deported by 2025, a situation that poses significant challenges for Honduras.
