The United States has frozen its financial contributions to a multinational security support mission in Haiti, a United Nations spokesperson said on Tuesday, a move that would stop $13.3 million in pending aid.
"We received an official notification from the US asking for an immediate stop work order on their contribution to the multinational security support force," said Stephane Dujarric, the UN secretary-general's spokesperson, referring to the already underfunded Kenya-led force.
