Honduras to extend extradition agreement with US

ISTANBUL

Honduran President Xiomara Castro announced that her government has reached an agreement to extend the extradition treaty with the new US administration.

Castro decided to cancel the agreement last May, citing "US interference and interventionism." However, she has now confirmed that the treaty will continue, with necessary safeguards in place to protect Honduras' sovereignty.

"I announce that I have reached an agreement with the new American administration so that the extradition treaty will continue with the necessary safeguards for the state of Honduras," Castro said in a post on X Tuesday.
