Harris Seeks Ally in Honduras as She Revisits Central America

Vice President Kamala Harris visited Honduras on Thursday to attend the presidential inauguration of Xiomara Castro, the country’s first female head of state, who the White House hopes will become a crucial ally in addressing the corruption and emigration that have challenged Central America.

Ms. Harris’s trip to Central America, her second as vice president, was more than a show of support, but also a sign of the Biden administration’s eagerness to pursue a fresh start in tackling the poverty and graft that have pushed thousands of vulnerable families to the U.S. southern border in recent years.
