Honduras President Xiomara Castro has hinted at ceasing military cooperation with the U.S. if President-elect Donald Trump carries out mass deportations.
Castro criticized the long-standing U.S. military presence in Honduras, arguing it lacks justification if deportations occur.
She indicated the need for dialogue with the Trump administration to address the issue of deportations.
Despite political pushback, including comments from opposition figures suggesting her stance could endanger Honduras, Castro remains firm.
The U.S. military's primary base in Honduras, Soto Cano Air Base, has been operational since 1983, serving as a launch point for missions in Central America.
