Mexico withdraws Hurricane Harvey aid offer after Trump fails to send condolences for their earthquake.

Central American country had pledged to offer food, generators and medical aid to Texas 'as good neighbors should always do in trying times'

Mexico has withdrawn its offer of aid to US victims of Hurricane Harvey after a 8.1 magnitude earthquake hit the southern states of Oaxaca and Chiapas, killing 96 people. 

A statement released by Mexico’s Foreign Ministry said the aid would now be redirected to help those affected by the devastating earthquake and Hurricane Katia that wreaked havoc on home soil. 

As many as 5,000 homes were destroyed in Chiapas, with authorities fearing the damage in Oaxaca could be even worse. 

"Given this situation, the Mexican government will channel all available logistical support to the families and communities that have been affected in Mexico and has informed the Texas and US governments that, unfortunately, on this occasion, it won't be possible to provide the assistance originally offered to Texas in late August in the wake of Hurricane Harvey," the foreign ministry said in a statement.

Trump has to start showing some decency to his neighbor in time of crisis. Trump is absolutely wrong here. Mexico sends a convoy with aid and volunteers to Texas, and this is how he intends to treat Mexico. Unacceptable.

Trump has no decency left.

Trump has decency, but he hold people personal for political disagreement. In time of a country's tragedy, friends and foes comes together and help without asking. George W. Bush once refused Castro's monetary aid to hurricane Katrina. What's wrong with these Republicans?
