Specifically, it indicates that Washington believes that the majority of the aid goes to the NGOs, international organizations and religious institutions that work on the land with the inhabitants of those countries, who already have opportunities to migrate to the United States.
Washington’s announcement coincides with drug trafficking charges against Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who has been released on bail in New York against a drug trafficker with whom the Honduran mandate cooperates during fiscal years.
Asked for respect, Jacobson avoids speaking specifically about Hernandez, arguing that Biden wants to help civil society organizations, while trusting Central American governors to distribute them.
“It’s not the presidents that are important in these countries, but it is important to understand that we are working with civil society, with international organizations and with various NGOs on the ground,” he said.
“We work with the staff we work with, but we believe that it is very important that these countries have very explicit compromises in order to move forward in the face of corruption, knowing that some countries will be difficult,” Jacobson said.

More recently, President Donald Trump (2017-2021) has suspended the exterior of the Northern Triangle to consider that its governors do not have enough to prevent immigration to the North.
For his part, when he was vice president of Obama, Biden played a key role in the draft Plan for the Alliance for Prosperity for the North American Triangle, which sought to raise $ 750 million for the purpose of tackling the causes of migration. : poverty, the lack of economic opportunities and violence.
Biden has made it clear that he believes in these principles, but Gobierno has understood that the lure against corruption will be a central piece of Central American politics.
