Trump-Endorsed Candidate Leads Narrowly in Honduras Election

Nasry Asfura, the conservative candidate for president, holds a slim lead in Honduras based on early vote counts. The race has drawn international attention due to an endorsement from U.S. President Donald Trump. The campaign unfolded under the shadow of a threat from Trump. He warned that the United States could cut financial aid to Honduras if his preferred candidate did not win. Asfura's main opponent is leftist candidate Xiomara Castro. Final results from Sunday's election are still pending. The outcome will determine the leadership of a key Central American nation for the next four years.
