President Donald Trump warned the nation of Honduras this morning that unless the caravan of migrants headed to the United States returned back to Honduras, he will cut off aid to the Central American nation “immediately”:
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!

This would amount to millions of dollars in aid that could be cut off:
Since FY16, more than 75,000 family units from Honduras have been apprehended at the southwest border. US Foreign Aid to Honduras

•FY17: $95.3 million
•FY18: $67.8 million https://t.co/wqGzRguw1A— Fox News Research (@FoxNewsResearch) October 16, 2018
