Rubio Meets Honduran President Asfura in Washington, Thanks Honduras on Defense, Security and Immigration
The U.S. Department of State released a readout on November 13 saying Secretary of State Marco Rubio met that day in Washington with Honduran President Nasry Asfura and thanked him for Honduras' steadfast partnership on shared defense, security and immigration priorities.
Rubio commended President Asfura's leadership in the Shield of the Americas and the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition, and Honduras's recent designation of MS-13 and Barrio 18 as terrorist associations. The two leaders discussed expanding bilateral trade and U.S. investment in Honduras, and Rubio reaffirmed U.S. support for the Honduran people as they face drought conditions caused by El Niño.
Both leaders committed to deepening cooperation for a safer, stronger and more prosperous hemisphere.
