WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Friday he will grant a pardon to former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is serving a 45-year prison sentence in the U.S. after his conviction on drug trafficking and firearms charges.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump reiterated his backing for Honduran presidential candidate Nasry Asfura of the conservative National Party and said that “if he doesn’t win, the United States will not be throwing good money.”
