President Donald Trump continues to ramp up his rhetoric against Venezuela over alleged drug trafficking.
President Trump is once again emphasizing his support for Tito Asfura in Honduras’ 2025 presidential election along with issuing a pardon of the last Honduran president he supported, Juan Orlando Hernandez.
“If Tito Asfura wins for President of Honduras, because the United States has so much confidence in him, his Policies, and what he will do for the Great People of Honduras, we will be very supportive. If he doesn’t win, the United States will not be throwing good money after bad, because a wrong Leader can only bring catastrophic results to a country,” Trump posted on his social media platform Friday.
He then went on to announce his pardon of Hernandez. Hernandez was sentenced in 2024 to 45 years in prison for accepting bribes from drug traffickers to protect U.S.-bound cocaine shipments and distribute hundreds of tons of cocaine.
“I will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that I greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly. This cannot be allowed to happen, especially now, after Tito Asfura wins the Election, when Honduras will be on its way to Great Political and Financial Success.”
