HONDURAS Act

The HONDURAS Act would authorize the U.S. President to suspend all U.S. financial assistance to Honduras, including military aid under the 1954 bilateral agreement, if Honduras refuses to host U.S. military and civilian personnel at Soto Cano Air Base. This suspension would take effect after the redeployment of U.S. personnel due to Honduras' refusal or unwillingness to host them. The bill directly affects the Honduran government by potentially cutting off all U.S. aid, including military support. The key mechanism is a conditional trigger based on Honduras' refusal to host U.S. personnel, leading to automatic aid suspension.
