    Trump administration recognizes reelected Hernandez as Honduras president

    State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said all sides should aim to end the recent violence that has killed at least 17 people.

    The Trump administration on Friday recognized the results of Honduras’ disputed presidential election, despite problems found by poll observers and calls from the U.S. Congress for a new vote. In a statement, the U.S. State Department congratulated President Juan Orlando Hernandez on his re-election, but also urged the country’s electoral commission to examine all disputes to the result.
