Elecciones en Honduras: Trump amenaza con retirar la ayuda al país latino si no gana Asfura
Bajo la amenaza directa de Washington, Honduras acude hoy, 30 de noviembre, a las urnas para elegir presidente en unos comicios marcados por la tensión, las acusaciones cruzadas y un inédito giro en la campaña: la advertencia del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump, en la que condiciona su ayuda económica al triunfo del derechista Nasry “Tito” Asfura, argumentando que su gobierno “no malgastará” más dinero en el país.
