President Donald Trump has threatened to cut financial aid to Honduras over a large group of migrants heading towards the US border.

In a Tweet posted on Tuesday, Mr Trump said the country's president was told funds would be cut "immediately" if the group was not stopped and returned.

Honduras has a long history of poverty and corruption. It also has one of the highest murder rates in the world.

The group of at least 1,500 migrants grew rapidly in size over the weekend.

About 160 people originally set off on Friday from San Pedro Sula, a notorious Honduran crime hotspot.

They pushed across the border into Guatemala on Monday, despite a heavy police presence and government order attempting to block their route.


This is the second time Mr Trump has threatened Honduras's aid over migrants, in April saying it was "in play" over another group.

The US sent more than $175m (£130m) to the country in 2016 and 2017, according to the US Agency for International Development.

Officials in Mexico and the US have been monitoring the migrants, who have formed what is known as "a caravan", over the past few days, issuing threats about their rights to enter the country.

Last week, Vice President Mike Pence urged Central American countries to do more to prevent mass migration.

The group was held at the border by Guatemalan police on Monday for several hours.

"Tell your people: don't put your families at risk by taking the dangerous journey north to attempt to enter the United States illegally," Mr Pence said.

The United States has strongly informed the President of Honduras that if the large Caravan of people heading to the U.S. is not stopped and brought back to Honduras, no more money or aid will be given to Honduras, effective immediately!

He needs to say the same thing to Mexico.

Also follow the money. Someone is paying for this. Perfect timing for the mid term elections.

I'm still laughing about the Taco Bell "run for the border" billboard in this shot.

I just heard on Varney the Dem leadership is telling candidates to run away form this issue because it will be bad for them.

Make sure each and everyone of you get his out. Red Tide in November.

just in time for the mid-term elections. This thing is orchestrated, planned, and managed by the DNC.

Kind of a lame effort on their part though, don't you think?

I'd like to see a plane load of their jackbooted Policia get involved.
