Trump Announces Pardon for Former Honduran President Convicted of Drug Trafficking

Donald Trump has announced plans to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is currently serving a 45-year sentence in the United States for drug trafficking. This decision comes just days before a presidential election, raising concerns of public intervention in foreign electoral processes. Trump has emphasized that he intends to issue a full and complete pardon, despite the outrage over his support for a convicted drug trafficker linked to notorious cartels.
