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.

The United States has frozen its financial contributions to a United Nations fund for a multinational security support mission in Haiti, a UN spokesperson said on Tuesday, a move that would stop $13.3 million in pending aid.

Over $13 million in U.S. aid for an international security effort in Haiti is frozen due to Trump's 90-day foreign aid pause. Armed gangs control much of Port-au-Prince, with the mission supported by international troops struggling to restore order despite significant funding commitments.

The UN Security Council gave the green light in October 2023 to the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission designed to support Haiti's authorities in their fight against criminal gangs, which control swaths of the country.

The United Nations says that the U.S. has given notice that it is halting some funding to a U.N.-backed mission in Haiti tasked with fighting gangs trying to seize full control of the country’s capita
