[Salon] Trump announced he’s pardoning the narco-dictator of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez



A day after promising military strikes on Venezuela to “deter drug traffickers,” Trump announced he’s pardoning the narco-dictator of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez—who’s serving 45 years in prison for working alongside El Chapo to smuggle 400+ tons of cocaine into the US.

The announcement was made in a statement that constitutes blatant interference in Honduran elections, which threatens to withhold resources to the country if his preferred (narco-friendly) candidate doesn’t win Sunday.
