Secretary Rubio’s Call with Honduras President-Elect Asfura

On 2021‑2025.state.gov this message comes from the site’s publishing system (WordPress/PHP), not from your browser. The page template shows “The site is experiencing technical difficulties… Exception: forbidden” when an internal exception or permission check fails. That usually means the application has blocked access (similar in meaning to an HTTP 403 “forbidden”), but from the outside you can’t tell the exact HTTP status code—only that the server is refusing to serve the normal content due to a technical or access issue on their side.

Yes. Although the specific State Department URL is erroring, the same readout text is mirrored elsewhere:

• GlobalSecurity.org hosts the full State Department readout titled “Secretary Rubio’s Call with Honduras President-Elect Asfura.”
• Reuters (syndicated via U.S. News and other outlets) summarizes the State Department’s statement about Rubio’s call with Asfura, based on the same readout. These provide the substance of the press release even while the original page is down.

“Secretary Rubio” is Marco Rubio, who is serving as the United States Secretary of State. State Department materials and news reports describe him as “Secretary of State Marco Rubio” and “U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.”

Honduras President‑Elect Asfura is Nasry Juan Asfura Zablah, commonly known as “Nasry ‘Tito’ Asfura.” He is a Honduran businessman and politician from the National Party who served as mayor of Tegucigalpa (2014–2022). In December 2025 Honduras’s electoral authorities declared him president‑elect, meaning he is due to assume the presidency in January 2026.

There is no public “notification” feature for when a specific State Department page is fixed. Practical options are:

• Periodically re‑check the URL or the main press releases index.
• Use a third‑party change‑monitoring tool or RSS/alerts service on the press‑releases page.
• Request the text directly from the Department of State or a U.S. embassy/consulate by email or contact form, referencing the title and date of the readout. The department’s general contact channels are listed on state.gov, but there is no dedicated mechanism to subscribe to a single broken page.

Yes. While the original state.gov page is down, the substance of the statement appears in other official or quasi‑official channels:

• Reuters, citing the State Department, reports that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with President‑elect Nasry Asfura to congratulate him and that Rubio praised Asfura’s support for U.S. strategic objectives.
• GlobalSecurity.org reproduces the full State Department readout text (“The following is attributable to Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott…”), matching what would normally appear on state.gov. State Department social‑media feeds or embassy accounts may reference the call, but the clearest accessible copies of the statement itself are these text mirrors and news write‑ups.
