Trump Pardon Sends Ex-Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernandez Home

Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez has returned to Honduras after receiving a presidential pardon from Donald Trump, overturning a 45-year US prison sentence on drug trafficking charges.

Hernandez, who was extradited to the United States in 2022, says the case against him was politically motivated. His return has reignited deep political divisions, with supporters celebrating what they call vindication, while critics argue the pardon undermines accountability and justice.

The report also examines comparisons between Hernandez's release and the hypothetical treatment of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, raising questions about consistency in US foreign policy and political influence.
