President Barack Obama’s deputy national security adviser said the US wants to see “tangible progress” in protecting human rights in Honduras.
After meeting Honduran President Porfirio Lobo in Tegucigalpa , adviser Denis McDonough said “the fight against violent crime and impunity cannot be conducted at the expense of human rights.”
The United States is withholding $50 million, about half of its aid to Honduras, due to concerns by some members of Congress about military and police corruption.
