Honduras May Cancel Military Cooperation with U.S. Unless Trump Cancels Mass Expulsion Plans
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Honduran President Xiomara Castro has warned that she might seek to
cancel military cooperation with the United States if President-elect
Trump makes good on his promises of mass deportations, denial of asylum
claims and family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border. Castro made the
warning in a New Year's Day message in which she called for constructive
dialogue with the incoming administration.

President Xiomara Castro: "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, where, without paying a cent for decades, they maintain
military bases in our territory, which in this case would lose all
reason to exist in Honduras."
