Honduran president Xiomara Castro keeps extradition treaty with the United States

Honduran President Xiomara Castro confirmed the extradition treaty with the United States will remain in effect, a key agreement for transferring drug traffickers. Castro declared diplomatic notes from 2024, which had terminated the treaty, as void. This decision follows past tensions and accusations of US interference. The treaty has facilitated the extradition of approximately fifty Honduran traffickers to the US since 2014, including a former president.
