Current Events > Trump threatens to cut off aid to countries that allow drugs into US

(+) Yeah! (+)

I guess he forgot that there is a huge demand in the US for drugs. The problem is more complex than what he portrays.

President Donald Trump threatened Friday to cut off aid to countries that allow drugs into the United States during a visit to the Customs and Border Protection National Training Center in Virginia.

"I want to stop the aid. If they can't stop drugs from coming in, 'cause they can stop them a lot easier than us. They say, 'oh we can't control it.' Oh great, we're supposed to control it," the President said. "So we give them billions and billions of dollars, and they don't do what they're supposed to be doing, and they know that. But we're going to take a very harsh action."

Trump specifically name-checked El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico in his criticism of countries whose citizens are coming into the United States illegally.

"We want strong borders. We want to give you laws. We want to stop the catch and release nonsense that goes on. You catch somebody and you release them. You know they're bad," he said. "They're pouring in from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, all over. They're just pouring into our country."

The President added: "These countries are not our friends, you know."
"We think they're our friends, and we send them massive aid, and I won't mention names right now," he said. "But I look at these countries, I look at the numbers we send them, we send them massive aid and they're pouring drugs into our country and they're laughing at us."

So going to cut off aid from America itself?

How much blow do you think Trump has done in his life? I have a feeling his 20s and 30s were full of it.

A guy who doesn't even drink probably doesn't do drugs

If they dont like it they can beg some other country to give them handouts. You do what your boss says or he stops paying you.
