A segment on 'Fox & Friends' on Sunday had “Trump Cuts U.S. Aid to 3 Mexican Countries” displayed in the chyron at the bottom of the screen, despite the fact that Mexico is one country.
Fox & Friends was trolled by El Salvador president-elect Nayib Bukele this week over the show's mistake on Sunday where they applauded President Donald Trump’s order to cut aid to Central American countries with “Trump Cuts U.S. Aid to 3 Mexican Countries” written in the chyron at the bottom of the screen.
Later in the show, Hegseth apologized for the mistake."Now we want to clarify and correct something that happened earlier in the show," he said."We had an inaccurate graphic on screen while talking about this very story. We just want to be clear; the funding is being cut off to the three Central American countries. We apologize for the error. It never should have happened."
Hegseth chimed in:"That's right. He also announced yesterday and the State Department confirmed we will be cutting payments, aid payments, to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras over the fact those countries have been unable to contain the flood of migrants heading through Mexico to our southern border."
