After ideological shifts in Argentina and Bolivia, Honduras could be the next country in Latin America to make a rightward turn.
Trump wants 67-year-old former mayor and businessman, conservative presidential candidate Nasry "Tito" Asfura, to lead such change.
"Tito and I can work together to fight the narco-communists," Trump wrote the other day on Truth Social, where he also promised to stop "wasting money" on Honduras if the left wins the election.
“Don't listen to Trump”
Many raised eyebrows when he simultaneously announced that he would pardon Asfura's party colleague, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández - who is serving a 45-year prison sentence in the United States for involvement in drug smuggling to the United States.
It is unclear whether Trump's comments could affect the election.
"I vote for who I want to vote for, I don't care what Trump says," 56-year-old fruit vendor Esmeralda Rodriguez told AFP.
Promises social reforms
On the left, the ruling party's candidate Rixi Moncada wants to continue on the path taken by incumbent President Xiomara Castro. She promises, among other things, to "democratize" the country's economy, marked by deep divisions, through social reforms.
The third candidate to lead the polls is Salvador Nasralla, who is making his fourth bid for president, this time as the candidate of the right-wing Liberal Party, promising to crack down on corruption.
Polls close at midnight Swedish time. The first preliminary results are expected on Monday morning.
