Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, revealed that he held a meeting with Nasry Asfura, the newly inaugurated president of Honduras, at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. This meeting, reported by Reuters, came shortly after Asfura's election, which was characterized by allegations of electoral fraud and political tensions partly fueled by U.S. involvement. Trump stated that the United States and Honduras have a strong partnership in security matters.

During their discussion, Trump emphasized the collaboration between the two nations in combating dangerous drug cartels and human trafficking organizations. He noted the importance of their joint efforts to also expel illegal migrants and gang members from the United States. This highlights the ongoing issue of immigration and its significance in U.S.-Honduras relations, which has been a focal point for U.S. foreign policy in Central America.

Asfura's presidency marks a new chapter in Honduras, coming after a tumultuous political landscape that includes allegations of electoral manipulation and external interference. The focus on security partnerships signals a continued commitment from both leaders to address regional challenges, particularly those related to migration and organized crime, which could have broader implications for U.S. relations with Central American countries.
