Honduras says will terminate extradition treaty with U.S.

Honduras on Wednesday said it was ending an extradition treaty with the United States that has been used to imprison drug traffickers, accusing Washington of meddling in Honduran-Venezuelan relations.

"The interference and interventionism of the United States, as well as its intention to manage the politics of Honduras through its embassy and other representatives, is intolerable," President Xiomara Castro said on social media platform X, saying she had ordered the foreign ministry to terminate the treaty.
