WASHINGTON (EFE).— The former US president Donald Trump (2017-2021), future Republican candidate for the November elections, maintained that I wouldn’t give 10 cents for migration to the Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Trump made these claims during an interview with the network Fox News, in which he reacted to comments made by López Obrador a week ago in an interview with the CBS.
In said interview, the Mexican asked USA to invest 20,000 million dollars annually for the development of Latin America and thus reduce migration.
Trump rejects AMLO proposal
The New York tycoon rejected López Obrador’s requests and suggested that, if he were in the White House, The Mexican would not even have dared to make that request.
“They would never say that to me,” Trump said, adding, “I wouldn’t give him 10 cents.”
López Obrador has been asking the United States for years to invest billions of dollars in the development of impoverished countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, as a strategy to prevent their nationals from being forced to migrate north.
Meanwhile, Trump, who came to the White House in 2017 on a promise to build a wall on the border with Mexico, has adopted strong anti-immigration rhetoric at his campaign rallies.
He has even stated that foreigners “poison” the blood of USA and has proposed plans ranging from mass deportations to the construction of giant centers to detain undocumented migrants.
Pay the bail
On the other hand, Trump yesterday paid a bail of 175 million dollars for the civil fraud case he faces in New York, which will prevent the State from seizing his assets to satisfy the debt that amounts to 454 million dollars while he appeals.
The payment comes following on March 25, a New York appeals court authorized Trump to pay a much lower bail than that originally established, in addition to having granted him an additional period of 10 days to arrange it.
The tycoon had previously been given 30 days to post a bond for the full amount of the sentence while he appealed, but his lawyers said he might not find an insurance company that would post such a large bond.
