The administration of US President Donald Trump plans to send humanitarian aid for Central America worth more than USD 40 million to support the Venezuelan opposition, Reuters reported.

This money were allocated to Guatemala and Honduras, which are at the center of the migration crisis. Instead, the money will go to salaries, travel, communications equipment, technical assistance and training for managing the state budget and other needs of the Venezuelan opposition.

The funds are necessary because of “a significant, exigent event in the U.S. national interest, specifically the rapidly evolving crisis in Venezuela.”
