U.S. Suspends $30 Million To Honduras -- New York TimesWASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced Thursday that the United States would formally suspend nearly $30 million in aid to the coup-installed government in Honduras.

My Comment: So .... they cut off aid to Honduras .... but they are now laying the groundwork for opening up trade and travel with Cuba, a country that is run by a bunch of murderous thugs that have expelled almost 3 million people to U.S. shores since the 1960s (not including those that they butchered).
I give credit to the Obama administration .... they are consistent.
