Nasry Asfura, a conservative businessman backed by Donald Trump, has been declared the winner of Honduras' presidential election. The announcement followed a lengthy vote count that raised concerns about the electoral system's credibility. Asfura narrowly defeated Liberal Party candidate Salvador Nasralla, who has rejected the results. Asfura's victory signals a shift to the right in Latin America and aligns Honduras with other conservative governments in the region. The U.S. has expressed readiness to work with the incoming administration on security and immigration.
