None

President Donald Trump says the US will begin "cutting off, or substantially reducing" aid to three Central American nations over a migrant caravan heading to the US southern border.

 

Trump tweets: "Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the US."

 

The three countries received a combined more than $500 million in funding from the US in fiscal year 2017.
