In pushing back against President-elect Donald J. Trump’s plan, President Xiomara Castro threatened that a base hosting U.S. troops could “lose all reason to exist in Honduras.”
In 2023, Hondurans sent $8.97b back to their country from their jobs in the US. That same year, the country’s GDP was $34.40b.
Doesn’t seem very crazy to want to protect 26% of your country’s income.
I wonder how big of a part this stuff mentioned in the article is
The move would present grave risks for the small country, which depends on the United States as its largest trading partner and a source of humanitarian aid.
If it’s anywhere near it or larger they’ll be in a real pickle since Trump is absolutely going to use trade and aid for coercion
US takes back its soldiers and Honduras takes back its citizens. I guess it would be a fair exchange but one side is going to be way more fucked by that than the other.
Oh they will accept them back just don’t expect them to continue serving colonizer force. There are other countries like China who would be more beneficial to them once US bases are out.
That is a crazy position to take. They will do whatever it takes to not accept their own citizens back.

Does China accept a lot of immigrants? From the numbers, it either doesn’t seem to accept a lot or don’t have many takers.
I was talking about bases.
Ah alright
