Trump admin has "no clear plans to offer aid to Mexico" following earthquake that killed at least 35



The Trump administration has no clear plans to offer aid to Mexico following a massive 8.1-magnitude earthquake that has killed at least 35 people and injured hundreds, despite the Mexican government's explicit offer to provide support to Texas following Hurricane Harvey.

A spokesperson for the National Security Council tells Newsweek the U.S. government has offered its condolences and is coordinating closely with Mexican authorities, adding, "We will continue to monitor the situation and take all appropriate steps." But no specifics were provided on what those steps may be.

Newsweek also reached out to the U.S. Department of State for details on its response to the earthquake, but did not hear back by the time of publication.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump—who routinely tweets on an array of subjects—has yet to mention the earthquake on Twitter.

Of course this maniac will turn his back on a country that felt the country shake down to Guatemala.

He is the worst of the worst. He's not a buffoon, he is evil and we can't lose sight of that.

Mexico took no time to offer help for us at the beginning of Harvey. I am so thankful that Mexico realizes it is not most of the people who are acting like the dripping piece of shit.

when they reach the more remote villages in Chiapas, where the worst damage is.

The Orange Nazi isn't going to lift a finger for brown people, anywhere, unless it's to send bombs to kill them.
