For Biden, backing a candidate for the November elections in Honduras is a choice between protecting U.S. business interests and condemning the corruption, drug trafficking, and violence that increase migration. Of the countries in Central America’s “northern triangle,” Honduras is the one that sends the most migrants to the United States. Already this year over 32,000 Honduran migrants have been deported from the United States, including more than 2,600 children. The country’s president, Juan Orlando Hernández (JOH), was supported by President Trump because […]

The last National Assembly election in 2015 was marred by a vote-buying scheme in one remote region. Upon an order from the Supreme Court to redo those races, right-wing parties refused, putting the entire National […]

A YouGov poll focusing on 1,000-plus respondents across Europe has outlined citizens’ preliminary political preferences regarding the 46th US president, and they appear to be quite muted as an absolute minority believe the electoral process will be as clean as a whistle. Fewer than one in ten Europeans believe that the upcoming US presidential election will be completely free and fair, with an absolute majority saying they would prefer Joe Biden to win over Donald Trump, according to a new YouGov tracker survey. It was run between 15 September and 4 October with a representative sample of 1,000-plus people in a range […]
Plexiglass barriers will reportedly be used in the upcoming debate between Vice President Mike Pence and Joe Biden’s running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, said to be requested by Democrats after President Donald Trump caught Covid-19. Trump tested positive for the coronavirus just two days after debating Biden in Cleveland, Ohio. While Biden has so far tested negative, the Commission on Presidential Debates – the NGO running the process – decided to almost double the distance between Pence and Harris, from 7 feet (2.1 meters) to 13 (4 meters). On Monday, the CPD agreed to put plexiglass barriers not just between the […]

Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/world/202009211080524920-hungarian-pm-orban-endorses-donald-trump-in-upcoming-us-election/ Earlier this month, Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban expressed support for incumbent US President Donald Trump in the upcoming election after the two officials held a telephone conversation. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has endorsed Donald Trump’s re-election bid in the upcoming US presidential vote, saying that the Democrats have forced “moral imperialism” on the international community. “We root for Donald Trump’s victory because we know well American Democratic governments’ diplomacy, built on moral imperialism. We have been forced to sample it before, we did not like it, we do not want […]
The British government’s Brexit-motivated plan for the internal market will rob Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland of their powers to decide on how they should live, officials fear. London “plans to sacrifice the future of the union by stealing powers from devolved administrations,” said Jeremy Miles, Wales’ counsel general and minister for European transition. He was referring to the Internal Market bill, which the Boris Johnson cabinet is set to make public on Wednesday. The legislation sparked a scandal earlier this week over provisions, which would de facto renege on key parts of the EU Withdrawal Agreement, which had been included […]

US President Donald Trump said he would soon hand out a pardon to a “very important” person. While the details were left shrouded in mystery, he ruled out both his former advisor Michael Flynn and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. “Doing a pardon tomorrow on someone who is very, very important,” Trump told reporters on board Air Force One on Monday, offering little elaboration other than to say it would not be Flynn – his first National Security Advisor – nor the famed whistleblower.

Citing two people familiar with the situation, the outlet said that Trump may get his lawyers to “look into the Mary Trump […]

Captain Tom Moore, the 100-year-old British veteran who stole headlines with his viral backyard fundraiser for the NHS, is due to be knighted by Queen Elizabeth, but is taking it all in stride with some heartwarming humor. “I hope she’s not very heavy handed with the sword,” he said Wednesday, in reference to the knighting ceremony in which the monarch taps the recipient’s shoulders with a sword. “By then I might be rather a poor old weak soul.” The 100-year-old World War II veteran raised £33mn by walking 100 laps of his garden in Bedfordshire before his 100th birthday on April […]
