Freezing Freezing Trump's external aid to migrant aid groups in Latin America

Freezing of Donald Trump's abroad on Titma to migrants support groups in Latin America. The Republican president stopped foreign aid from his early hours of having arrived at the White House.

A busy refuge for migrants in southern Mexico was left without a doctor. A program to provide mental health support to young LGBTQ+ fleeing from Venezuela was dissolved. In Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Guatemala closed the so -called “Safe Mobility Offices” where migrants can request authorization to legally enter the United States.

Just a week after Donald Trump's new government began, his order to stop the US foreign aid already has a deep effect on a topic that promoted him to the White House: Immigration.

Throughout Latin America, grassroots organizations that help migrants have been decimated, the already dangerous trip north has become more confusing, and the future of programs to eradicate violence, poverty and violations is more confusing of human rights that have promoted historical levels of migration in recent years.

Trump, a few hours after taking office on January 20, ordered a 90 -day freezing of most of the US foreign assistance disbursed through the State Department. The decision immediately arrested thousands of humanitarian, development and security programs that had financing from the United States worldwide, and forced the help organizations and US partners in the field to cut hundreds of humanitarian workers.

The United States is, however, the largest source of foreign assistance in the world, although several European countries allocate a much greater part of its budgets. Although the approximately 2,000 million dollars received annually, the Western hemisphere has long been a priority of spending of both the Democratic governments and the Republicans, helps Africa.

The region is closely linked to the United States through trade and migration, as well as by the flow of narcotics. And the growing influence of China and Russia in recent years has only increased the strategic importance of what was previously called, “the Washington backyard.”

This nearby link is a message that Secretary of State Frame Rubio will probably reinforce when from Saturday Visit Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic on their first official trip abroad.
