TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Honduras President Xiomara Castro ’s comments earlier this week threatening to stop her country’s cooperation with the U.S. military if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on promised mass deportations have generated political heat at home, even as the U.S. government has remained silent.

In a New Year’s Day speech on a national television channel, Castro said that if Trump goes ahead with massive deportations, Honduras would reconsider military cooperation with the U.S.

“Faced with a hostile attitude of mass expulsion of our brothers, we would have to consider a change of our cooperation policies with the United States, especially in the military realm,” Castro said.

She said the U.S. had maintained a presence in Honduran territory for decades without paying a cent and if Hondurans are expelled en masse that presence would cease to have any reason to exist in Honduras.



The main U.S. military presence in Honduras is at Soto Cano Air Base outside the capital. While it is a Honduran base, the U.S. has maintained a significant presence there since 1983 and it has become a key U.S. launching point for humanitarian and anti-drug missions in Central America.

It is home to Joint Task Force Bravo, which the U.S. Defense Department has described as a “temporary but indefinite” presence.

The base has been there since '83 and it's described as an “temporary but indefinite” presence.....WTF?

Getting shed of an unnecessary base and dumping illegals from where they came sounds like a win to me.

It's a base with 500 personnel, who cares. Shut it down. Bring back the 500 to the US and give that commie bitch back her half million illegals.

She is only pissed off because those illegals are sending back big bucks.



Money sent back to Honduras by migrants is a significant contribute to the country's economy. In 2020, remittances sent by migrants to their families were equivalent to 24% of Honduras' GDP, surpassing exports of agricultural and industrial goods.....

It's a base with 500 personnel, who gives a single fuck. Shut it down. Bring back the 500 to the US and give that commie bitch back her half million fucking shitbag illegals.

/----/ If I lived in a third-world shythole, I'd do the same if I had the means. I don't blame them for doing it; I blame the USA for allowing it.

I don't know which is worse. Trump's empty threats or other countries actually reacting to them.
Well at least you know they think he means business, huh? :04:

Being a Democrat yourself you should know.
/—-/ I was a democRAT when I voted for Reagan. I switched to the GOP after Slick Willie porked a chubby intern in the Oval Office.
Claiming I’m a DemocRAT is kinda pathetic.
