@realdonaldtrump: “Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.”
Good! We shouldn’t be GIVING AWAY American Tax Dollars to foreign governments anyways… our National Deficit is $21 TRILLION!
“In the fiscal year just ended, U.S. aid to Guatemala totaled $83.7 million, to Honduras $58.3 million and to El Salvador $50.7 million. All were sharply lower than in the previous years.”
