<p style="max-width: 100%;" class="">President Trump, flashing one weapon in his “America First” arsenal, often talks about the need to cut back on providing financial aid overseas.</p>
<p style="max-width: 100%;" class="">Back in September, he used his speech at the United Nations to hammer home the point that he doesn’t want to support countries that don’t return the love.
</p>
<p style="max-width: 100%;" class="">“Moving forward, we are only going to give foreign aid for those who respect us and, frankly, are our friends,” he told world leaders in New York. “Few give anything to us, that is why we are taking a hard look at U.S. foreign
assistance.”</p>
<p style="max-width: 100%;" class="">Then, he brought it regarding the Central American migrant caravan.</p>
<p style="max-width: 100%;" class="">“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,” Trump tweeted in mid-October. “We will now begin cutting off, or substantially
reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.” </p>
