Migrant caravan marches on in Guatemala amid Trump's threats
CHIQUIMULA, Guatemala (AP) - A caravan of some 2,000 migrants hoping to reach the United States marched deeper into Guatemala as President Donald Trump threatened to cut off aid to Central American countries that don't stop them.
The weary Hondurans covered some 30 miles Tuesday to arrive in Chiquimula after crossing the border into Guatemala a day earlier. Some hitched rides, while others walked. They expressed faith that obstacles would be removed and were generally undeterred when told of Trump's exhortations.
As stifling daytime heat gave way to an evening downpour, people bedded down in an auditorium.
Trump unleashed fresh tweets saying the U.S. has told Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador that aid will be stopped if they allow people to travel from or across their countries intending to enter the United States illegally.
