TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) -A Honduran delegation began talks in Washington on Wednesday to seek economic help for devastating hurricanes which have ravaged the Central American country and helped spur a jump in immigration that has tested U.S. President Joe Biden.
Honduran Foreign Minister Lisandro Rosales said he had met U.S. Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas to present him with a final report on the damage caused by Hurricanes Eta and Iota, which struck Honduras two weeks apart late last year.
