### Hondurans Head to the Polls Amid Trump's Warnings
Hondurans began voting for a new president on Sunday under the shadow of warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump. He threatened to cut American aid to the Central American nation if the candidate he favored failed to win.
Trump’s remarks added pressure to an already tense election climate. Many in Honduras viewed his statements as an attempt to influence the outcome of the vote.
> “The United States will reconsider its aid if Honduras chooses the wrong path,” Trump said, according to his social media posts.
Despite the controversy, polling stations opened across the country early in the morning. Citizens lined up to cast their ballots, driven by hope for change but also concern over mounting political tension.
#### International Reaction
Global observers criticized Trump’s comments, saying they compromised the democratic process in Honduras. Some regional analysts warned that such threats could strain U.S.–Honduras relations regardless of the result.
