by Honduras reverses previous position that it would not extend the treaty, seen as a symbol of heavy-handed US presence.
Honduran President Xiomara Castro has announced her government has arrived at an agreement with the United States to extend an extradition treaty that she had previously pledged to discontinue.
Castro said on Tuesday that the agreement will include “safeguards” for Honduras’s sovereignty, after previously attacking the treaty as an example of the heavy-handed US influence in Latin America.
