Washington. El senador estadounidense de alto rango Bob Menéndez envió el jueves una carta al gobierno pidiendo revocar el visado del expresidente de Honduras Juan Orlando Hernández y una sanción como “capo del narcotráfico en el extranjero”.

En una carta enviada al secretario de Estado, Antony Blinken, y a la secretaria del Tesoro, Janet Yellen, el influyente senador demócrata instó a la administración a asegurarse de que Hernández rinda cuentas por sus acciones como “co-conspirador”.
