Honduran President Xiomara Castro has announced that her government will renew the country's long-standing extradition treaty with the United States after reaching an agreement with the Trump administration. The decision marks a reversal from Castro's previous stance, which sought to end the treaty in response to diplomatic tensions with Washington back in August.
"I announce that I have reached an agreement with the new American administration so that the extradition treaty will continue with the necessary safeguards for the state of Honduras," Castro stated in a post on X. She also added that she had "ensured respect for the integrity of the Armed Forces, the institution responsible for defending sovereignty, maintaining peace, upholding the rule of the Constitution, and guaranteeing the security of our democratic electoral process."
