| Good lord, just give it up already! |
On Thursday, a State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity said that the United States was looking at suspending assistance to Honduras through the Millennium Challenge Corporation which rewards nations with free economies and political systems, AFP reported.
Honduras in 2005 signed a five-year, 215 million-dollar deal with the US-funded Corporation to boost its agriculture and transportation sectors.
Foreign ministers from seven nations and the head of the Organization of American States returned empty-handed from Honduras after failing to persuade the interim leaders to accept a plan to reinstall the ousted president Manuel Zelaya. |
