President Donald Trump's freeze on foreign aid includes support for the Kenya-led international mission to Haiti, which seeks to help local troops fight the gangs that have taken over most of the capital and continue to wreak havoc across the country.

The Miami Herald reported on Wednesday that the 90-day halt on foreign assistance includes $15 million for the Multinational Security Support mission, whose members claim efforts are already widely underfunded even counting money from the U.S. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned in late January, even before the freezing was announced, that the city could be completely overrun without further international support.
