TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Foreign Minister Mario Canahuati will go to Washington to try to arrange a meeting between new leader Porfirio Lobo and President Barack Obama in hopes of restoring ties.
Honduras’ army ousted then-President Manuel Zelaya in June after he forged ahead with plans for a referendum on changing the constitution, which the Supreme Court ruled illegal.
The move was condemned by many governments, and Washington cut aid to the Central American nation.
The U.S. toned down its criticism after Lobo was elected to succeed Zelaya in a November election that had been scheduled before Zelaya’s ouster.
