Former U.S. President Donald Trump plans to pardon Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras. Hernández is currently serving a 45-year prison sentence in the United States.
A New York federal court convicted Hernández earlier this year. A jury found him guilty of drug trafficking and related weapons charges.
The potential pardon would clear Hernández of his U.S. convictions. The announcement signals Trump's intent to use executive clemency powers for a foreign leader found guilty of major crimes.
