President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued a threat to Honduras that he will cut off aid to the country if the “caravan” of people seeking refuge in the U.S. isn’t “stopped.”
On Monday, reports emerged that over 1,000 Hondurans are heading towards the U.S., hoping to escape violence and poverty.
"The United States has strongly informed the president of Honduras that if the large caravan of people heading to the U.S. is not stopped and brought back to Honduras, no more money or aid will be given to Honduras, effective immediately!" Trump tweeted Tuesday morning.
According to USAID, the U.S. provided $175 million in assistance to Honduras in the fiscal year 2017.
The president also addressed a recent column in the Washington Examiner that praised his administration for “finally” moving to end the practice of releasing “thousands of unaccompanied alien children to criminal sponsors,” according to former Immigration and Customs Enforcement Supervisor Jason Piccolo.
Trump tweeted: ‘Op-Ed praises Trump Administrations efforts at the Border.’ @FoxNews The Washington Examiner States, ‘Finally, the government has taken steps to stop releasing unaccompanied minors to criminals and traffickers.’ This was done by the Obama Administration!”
