Honduran President Xiomara Castro has reversed course on a decision to end a long-running extradition treaty after reaching an agreement with the United States.

"Xiomara Castro's move is likely partly motivated by the need to mitigate domestic unrest and international isolation" said a political analyst to The Latin Times

Honduras reverses previous position that it would not extend the treaty, seen as a symbol of heavy-handed US presence.

Honduran President Xiomara Castro announced an agreement with the United States to maintain an extradition treaty. The pact, announced via a social media post, emphasizes objective implementation while ensuring the protection of Honduras' armed forces.
