Honduran President Castro warns U.S, says migrant expulsions could strain military ties

Honduran President Xiomara Castro warned that mass expulsions of Honduran migrants from the U.S. could endanger military cooperation between the two countries. She emphasized that U.S. military bases in Honduras have operated for decades without payment and suggested that expelling migrants would make these bases redundant. Castro expressed hope for dialogue with the incoming Trump administration and urged them not to expel Honduran citizens. In the U.S., tech giants, including leaders from Google and Meta, are closely aligning with Donald Trump to influence the H-1B visa program, which is vital for skilled foreign workers. California, the largest user of H-1B visas, relies heavily on this program. Trump has consistently supported the H-1B visa, stating it is crucial for attracting skilled talent. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy advocate for reforms to improve the program, including raising salary thresholds and introducing annual fees. The debate is intensifying as Trump prepares to return to the presidency.
