Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, shared a witty response to Honduran President Xiomara Castro’s threat to shut down U.S. military bases if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his pledge to deport illegal aliens back to Honduras.
Cruz said Friday that if Castro decides to expel U.S. troops from Honduras, Trump should immediately cut taxpayer-funded aid, which amounts to several hundred million dollars.
“In 2023 the Biden admin sent $193 million in foreign aid to Honduras. In 2024, Biden sent at least $120 million,” Cruz wrote on X. “What I hear Honduras’s president saying is they don’t want any more American aid.”
He added, “Great! Glad to oblige….”
Cruz’s comments were in response to Castro’s opposition to Trump’s plans to enact the largest “deportation operation” in U.S. history. […]
We will carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history. – President Donald Trump⁰
