MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -The U.N. refugee agency in Mexico has closed four offices in the country and laid off 190 people due to the "serious funding crisis" facing the agency, the head of UNHCR in Mexico said on Tuesday, after U.S. President Donald Trump slashed overseas aid.
"UNHCR has had to make very serious decisions this year," Giovanni Lepri, UNHCR's representative in Mexico, said in a message to reporters, explaining that the agency's operations in Mexico have lost 60% of their budget.
