Honduran Leader Threatens to Push U.S. Military Out of Base if Trump Orders Mass Deportations
Briefly

Honduras's President Xiomara Castro warned that if mass deportations of undocumented immigrants occur under President-elect Trump, the U.S. military could lose its bases in Honduras, indicating a potential shift in relations.
Castro stated, 'Faced with a hostile attitude of mass expulsion of our brothers, we would have to consider a change in our policies of cooperation with the United States, especially in the military arena.'
'Without paying a cent for decades, they maintain military bases in our territory. These bases would lose all reason to exist in Honduras if our cooperation changes,' Castro emphasized in her address.
Enrique Reina, Honduras's foreign minister, mentioned that Ms. Castro has the authority to suspend the agreement with the U.S. regarding military bases without needing Congress' approval, highlighting the potential shift in Honduras-U.S. relations.
