Presidente Asfura reafirma cooperación con EE.UU. en seguridad, inversión y desarrollo económico

La administración del presidente hondureño Nasry Asfura, continúa consolidando su acercamiento estratégico con Estados Unidos en una etapa marcada por la reorientación de la política exterior del país y la búsqueda de nuevos mecanismos de cooperación económica y de seguridad.
En distintos pronunciamientos y encuentros diplomáticos recientes, el gobierno hondureño ha reiterado su intención de fortalecer las relaciones bilaterales con Washington, al considerar que Estados Unidos continúa siendo el principal socio comercial y uno de los aliados políticos más importantes de Honduras.
La estrategia impulsada por la administración Asfura se enfoca en generar confianza para atraer inversión extranjera, fortalecer la cooperación en seguridad regional y ampliar oportunidades de empleo y desarrollo económico.
En ese contexto, el mandatario hondureño ha señalado que su gobierno trabaja en consolidar un clima favorable para la inversión, basado en reglas claras, estabilidad y cooperación internacional.
“La relación con Estados Unidos es fundamental para Honduras. Queremos fortalecer la confianza, atraer más inversión y trabajar juntos en temas prioritarios para el desarrollo del país”, ha reiterado el gobierno en diferentes espacios diplomáticos y políticos.

Uno de los principales objetivos de esta nueva etapa de relaciones exteriores es posicionar a Honduras como un país más competitivo y confiable ante inversionistas internacionales, especialmente en sectores como energía, infraestructura, turismo, agroindustria y generación de empleo.
La administración hondureña también busca reforzar la cooperación con Estados Unidos en temas migratorios y de seguridad regional, en medio de los desafíos que enfrenta Centroamérica relacionados con crimen organizado, narcotráfico y flujos migratorios irregulares.
El acercamiento con Washington ocurre además en un contexto de revisión de la política internacional impulsada por el gobierno anterior, especialmente en temas relacionados con acuerdos comerciales y alianzas estratégicas fuera del continente americano.
Diversos sectores empresariales han respaldado el fortalecimiento de relaciones con Estados Unidos, argumentando que la estabilidad diplomática y económica puede traducirse en nuevas oportunidades de inversión y crecimiento para Honduras.
Actualmente, Estados Unidos representa uno de los principales destinos de exportación hondureña y un actor clave en materia de cooperación financiera y asistencia técnica para proyectos de desarrollo.

Dentro de la agenda bilateral también destacan temas relacionados con seguridad fronteriza, combate al narcotráfico, intercambio comercial y fortalecimiento institucional.
En los primeros meses de gestión, el gobierno de Asfura ha insistido en que Honduras necesita reconstruir la confianza internacional y generar condiciones que permitan dinamizar la economía nacional.
La administración considera que una relación sólida con Washington puede contribuir a mejorar la percepción del país ante organismos internacionales y sectores empresariales interesados en invertir en la región.
Asimismo, el gobierno hondureño ha destacado la importancia de mantener relaciones diplomáticas basadas en la transparencia, la cooperación y el respeto mutuo, como parte de una estrategia para fortalecer la posición de Honduras en el escenario internacional.

Analistas consideran que el acercamiento con Estados Unidos podría convertirse en uno de los pilares de la política exterior de la administración Asfura, especialmente en áreas relacionadas con comercio, seguridad e inversión extranjera.
Aunque las autoridades hondureñas no han anunciado nuevos acuerdos concretos hasta el momento, sí han reiterado que continuarán impulsando una agenda de cooperación y diálogo permanente con Washington.
La apuesta del gobierno, según funcionarios y representantes diplomáticos, es convertir a Honduras en un socio estratégico más sólido para Estados Unidos en Centroamérica, promoviendo estabilidad económica, generación de empleo y fortalecimiento institucional.

Top Republican pitches Trump plan to stop shutdowns, expose ‘bad guys’ blocking voter ID law

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., wants to show «who the good guys are and who the bad guys are» with a legislative wish-list he wants to pitch to President Donald Trump in Republicans’ meeting with the president this week.
In a letter to fellow Senate Republicans obtained by Fox News Digital, Scott laid out a plan for the next six months that would take away Democrats’ ability to shut the government down ahead of the midterm elections and possibly find a path to pass the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act.
«We need to make a clear distinction as to who the good guys are and who the bad guys are,» Scott wrote. «We have to demonstrate what Republicans stand for and what Democrats stand for through action, not rhetoric.»
His roadmap comes ahead of Trump’s scheduled meeting with Senate Republicans on Wednesday. Trump accepted an invitation to attend the weekly Senate Republican Steering Committee lunch from Scott last week.

Republicans are readying for their face-to-face meeting with Trump following a series of decisions that have thrown roadblocks on their march to advance key policy priorities, and they await a briefing from the administration on the recently signed memorandum of understanding with Iran.
«I think it’ll be a lot of different things,» Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said of what to expect at the meeting.
«Hopefully, celebrating some of our successes, talking about the path forward, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the SAVE Act, the SAVE America Act, whichever version of it, might come up,» he continued.
TRUMP’S DNI PICK WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR HIS CONFIRMATION HEARING AFTER TRUTH SOCIAL BOMB
The SAVE America Act, in particular, has proven a difficult lift in the Senate. While a paired-down version of the voter ID and citizenship verification legislation cracked 50 votes earlier this month, united opposition from Senate Democrats and Republicans unwilling to back the bill have sidelined it.
Still, Trump has continued to demand that Republicans pass the SAVE America Act, calling for it to be attached to a reauthorization of the nation’s controversial spy powers or rammed through with the pargyline budget reconciliation process.
Scott argued that Senate Democrats would likely again shut down the government ahead of the elections to gain a political edge, given their track record of record-breaking shutdowns in the last year. He also acknowledged that while the SAVE America Act was Trump’s top priority, «Republicans are not united in eliminating the filibuster to pass Republican priorities.»
Included in his pitch to lawmakers is a plan to pass a funding extension to keep the government open «at least until after the November election,» and putting the current version of the SAVE America Act or portions of it such as voter ID or requiring proof of citizenship before registering to vote.»

Other agenda items included passing anti-shutdown legislation, like Sen. Ron Johnson’s, R-Wis., bill to pay federal workers during a closure, and Sen. James Lankford’s, R-Okla., measure to pass automatic short-term funding extensions in the event of a shutdown.
Scott also wants to pass legislation that would crack down on fraud, reduce government waste, reduce government spending, add a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, bills aimed to make the country safer and further legislation to lower taxes.

«We need to show voters that we are listening to them and will fight for their priorities whether any Democrats vote with us or not,» Scott wrote.

Turkey detains over 200 suspects, including alleged ISIS militants, in sweeping raid ahead of NATO summit

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Turkish authorities reportedly detained more than 200 people, including suspected ISIS-linked militants, in a sweeping Tuesday raid in capital Ankara ahead of a July 7-8 NATO summit.
The raid came after Turkish authorities issued detention orders for 241 suspects, 209 of whom were taken into custody, The Associated Press reported, citing a statement from the office of Turkey’s chief prosecutor.
Among the 209 detained, 56 were allegedly ISIS militants, according to the AP. This comes after Turkish authorities said they detained 125 ISIS members in December.
The detention operations occurred just two weeks before a planned NATO summit in Ankara on July 7 that President Donald Trump is expected to attend.

Other militants scooped up were 35 alleged members of the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front, which a Turkish statement described as «a far‑left group known for armed attacks and assassinations in Turkey,» according to the AP.
The ISIS-combating operations demonstrate the terrorist group’s ongoing activity in the region, showing the group is still functioning despite the U.S. campaign during Trump’s first term to eliminate the group’s caliphate and its control of large swaths of territory in the Middle East.

«Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS globally, thought he could hide in Africa, but little did he know we had sources who kept us informed on what he was doing,» Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social after the strike. «He will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans.»
The group’s renewed activity also includes a call to supporters to make attacks on U.S. soil during the World Cup.
