US to Withhold Hundreds of Millions in Central America Aid.....

[MMC]

President Donald Trump's administration on Monday cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, after Trump blasted the three countries because thousands of their citizens had sought asylum at the U.S. border with Mexico.

Lawmakers who opposed the plan said it was cruel to cut off aid to countries grappling with hunger and crime and that the move would be counterproductive because it would more likely increase the number of migrants than decrease it.

Congressional aides said the administration told them it would reallocate $370 million in aid to Central America that lawmakers had approved for fiscal 2018, and suspend an additional $180 million Congress had approved for fiscal 2017.


All of the money for those years has not yet been spent.


No funds will be provided until the administration is satisfied the countries are reducing the number of migrants reaching the U.S. border, State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus told reporters.

Without elaborating, she added: "Working with Congress, we will reprogram those funds to other priorities as appropriate.".....snip~

We can't pay a cent on our debt while our deficit is around ~$1T this year and likely for each year the next few years.

That is what happens when one has to rebuild the military after the Demos reduce it, then cost us double just to get it back to par.

Reduced? They are poking around in over a hundred countries , have bases in multiple places and are waging war as well as doing maintenance on the southern border. What would you have them be able to do, a military coup?
