Obama responds to Honduras coup
President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras was reportedly overthrown in a coup today and is now seeking asylum in Costa Rica.
President Obama issued the following statement on the matter:
“I am deeply concerned by reports coming out of Honduras regarding the detention and expulsion of President Mel Zelaya. As the Organization of American States did on Friday, I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter. Any existing tensions and disputes must be resolved peacefully through dialogue free from any outside interference.”
