US President Donald Trump, on Wednesday, called on voters in Honduras to vote for the National Party’s presidential candidate, Nasri “Tito” Asfoura, in the general elections that will be held on Sunday in the Central American country, so that it does not fall under the control of “Maduro and his drug terrorists,” attacking the ruling party, Rexy Moncada, and former Vice President Salvador Nasrallah.
Trump asked in a message posted on the “Truth Social” social site: “Will Maduro and his drug terrorists control another country as they did with Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela? The man who defends democracy and fights Maduro is Tito Asfora,” and he praised him in a message posted on the “Truth Social” social site as “the successful mayor of Tegucigalpa who brought drinking water to millions of people and paved hundreds of kilometers of roads.”
In his defense of Asfoura, the White House resident attacked the other main candidates: “His main opponent is Rexy Moncada (of the ruling Freedom and Reconstruction Party), who says his ideal is Fidel Castro. Usually the intelligent people of Honduras reject it and choose Tito Asfoura, but the communists are trying to deceive the people by presenting a third candidate, which is Salvador Nasrallah.”
He stated about the rise of who in 2022 became second only to the current president of Honduras: “Nasrallah is not a friend of freedom. With his quasi-communist profile, he helped (President) Xiomara Castro by presenting himself as vice president. He won and helped Castro win.” “Then (in 2024) he resigned and now he is pretending to be anti-communist just in order to split the votes in the bird,” Trump said.
The American Pole stressed that “the only true friend of freedom in Honduras is Tito Lasvora.” “Tito and I can work together to combat the drug communists and provide the necessary assistance to the Honduran people,” he stressed, refusing to “work with Moncada and the communists” or “trust” Nasrallah.
Candidates for the general elections in Honduras, which will be held on Sunday, November 30, ended last weekend a tense election campaign marked by accusations of fraud, attacks on each other, and berating each other because of the difficult economic situation and tension in the streets.
About six million Hondurans are entitled to vote in elections in which, in addition to the new president, at stake are the composition of Congress, nearly 300 mayors, as well as the 20 Honduran seats in the Central American Parliament.
