    a couple hours later,

    "Fox & Friends Weekend" apologized on Sunday after displaying a graphic referring to "3 Mexican countries," drawing attention on social media.

    The show displayed a graphic at the bottom of the screen that read "Trump cuts U.S. aid to 3 Mexican countries."

    The State Department announced Saturday that the U.S. will no longer provide foreign assistance to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, the so-called Northern Triangle countries in Latin America.

    Co-host Pete Hegseth on Sunday correctly named the three countries affected by the measure, calling it a "big move" for Trump in cracking down on illegal immigration.

    The graphic stayed on the screen for 30 seconds.​

    It’s because they’re so diverse

    Trump is so smart. Cut aid to countries that are generating refugees so they can become even poorer and generate even more refugees. Brilliant plan.

    this is direction US is heading, less and less aid, more and more stronger borders

    Which is a good thing, because it will eventually result in better conditions for poor and those on minimum wage

    Or those who are exploited

    It could definitely be part of a plan to increase refugees to cause an emergency right around election time.

    I would expect better from a professional news station. That was really sad.

    Israel is a key economic and diplomatic ally. As with all countries with $ to offer, see Saudi, It will start never. Feel free to read about global capitalism before constant criticism, this move helps the current immigrants in America who do not have a living wage. You cannot create labor unions or have watchdog groups stand up for you with no borders, it is anarchy

    Nah. It is 100% intentional. This is how their audience like it.

    Sadly, you're probably right. Not sadly, the person is an idiot and earned those walking papers. Back to sad, Fox apparently has no quality assurance process to protect themselves from being embarrassed by one ignorant graphics person. And to make it a little sadder, this afflicts much of the news business now because they want to be so quick about getting new news out all the time so they don't proofread their own stuff anymore.

    Did the US force Latin America to overpopulate, resulting in a lack of resources for unskilled labor?
