The US has halted all non-humanitarian aid to Honduras in the wake of the coup there in June.
The department of state says it needs to take strong action given the failure of the replacement regime to restore democratic, constitutional rule.
Meanwhile, Brazil has suspended visa-free travel for all Hondurans in response to the coup.
Left-wing President Manuel Zelaya was ousted from power and forced to leave the country on June 28.
A government has been installed under interim leader Roberto Micheletti, who has refused to allow Mr Zelaya back.
