Former U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly pressured Honduran election officials. He warned there would be “hell to pay” if they change the results of the country’s recent presidential vote.
Trump issued the statement during a tense vote-counting process. The election remains extremely close, with the two main candidates separated by a narrow margin.
His intervention inserts a prominent foreign voice into Honduras's domestic political process. The warning did not specify what consequences might follow.
Local electoral authorities are continuing their official count. They have not responded directly to Trump’s comments.
