WASHINGTON: The U.S. government has cut aid to Central American countries including El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras for sending migrants to the US.

A surge of asylum seekers from these countries have sought to enter the US across the southern border in recent times.

Trump, on Friday, accused these nations of having “set up” migrant caravans and sent them to the Unites States.

The President also said there was a good likelihood that he would close the border this week if Mexico failed to stop immigrants from reaching the United States. (Agencies)
