U.S. President Donald Trump announced this week that he will pardon ex-Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is currently serving out a 45-year sentence in the U.S. for drugs and weapons charges. Hernandez was convicted under the Biden administration for helping smuggle hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S. — allegations he’s denied. Trump’s pardon comes as he continues to escalate tensions with Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, who he has accused of leading a drug cartel that’s now been designated a terrorist organization.
