Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández has been found guilty on drug trafficking charges by the US Justice on March 8, marking a significant turn in the narrative of a leader once seen as a key ally by the Obama-Trump-Biden administrations in its war on drugs. Analysis from various sources highlights how Hernández's administration was allegedly involved in transforming Honduras into a narco-state, raising questions about the U.S. government's role and responsibility in supporting such regimes. Critics argue that this case serves as a warning to other leaders and underscores the complexities of U.S. foreign policy in Latin America, where support for certain politicians has often been linked to broader strategic interests, including drug trafficking combat efforts.
