Honduras Presidential Rival Vows to Embrace US, Rebuff China
Honduran opposition presidential candidate Nasry Asfura vowed to forge closer ties with the US, restore relations with Taiwan and capitalize on the skills of returning migrants to revitalize the economy.
The markedly pro-US platform of the conservative presidential hopeful would undo the leftist policies of incumbent president Xiomara Castro, reinforcing a right-wing lurch across Latin America. Rather than condemn the Trump administration's deportations of migrants as Castro has done, Asfura is promoting a full-throated embrace in the name of economic opportunity.
