Trump Grants Controversial Pardon to Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández
President Donald Trump announced a full pardon for former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted in 2024 of partnering with drug traffickers and conspiring to import cocaine into the United States. The decision shocked U.S. officials and Hondurans alike, undermining years of investigations involving high-profile cartel figures, including “El Chapo.” Hernández, sentenced to 45 years in prison, had been portrayed by prosecutors as abusing his power to run Honduras like a narco-state. Trump’s move, delivered via social media, comes days before Honduras’s national election—where he has endorsed Hernández’s political ally—raising concerns over its political impact and U.S. credibility in international anti-drug efforts.
