Honduras voted Sunday with US aid hanging in the balance, as President Trump backed right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura against incumbent leftist Xiomara Castro. Polls showed a tight race, with Rixi Moncada and Salvador Nasralla also vying for the presidency. Trump’s threats to cut aid if Asfura lost, coupled with his pledge to pardon a former Honduran president facing drug charges, added significant international pressure to the election.
