Zelaya Renews Aid Call Ahead of Clinton Meeting

HeadlineSep 03, 2009

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to hold talks with ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya in Washington today. On the eve of the meeting, Zelaya renewed his call for the US to block more aid to Honduras and freeze the assets of those involved in his overthrow. Clinton has yet to issue a decision on a State Department advisory that Zelaya’s ouster be officially declared a “military coup.” The move would force the Obama administration to cut off as much as $150 million in funding to Honduras.
