More than $13 million in U.S. funding for an international security force helping fight armed gangs in Haiti has been frozen under President Donald Trump's 90-day pause on foreign aid, the United Nations said on Tuesday.

As hundreds of armed gang members, entrenched in the hills above Haiti’s capital, await orders to attack the last enclaves not currently under their control, the multinational fight to end their terror is being impeded by the Trump administration’s freeze on foreign aid.

Musalia Mudavadi says the operations of the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti won’t be jeopardised after the United States froze its financial contributions to the force through the United Nations (UN) fund.
