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.

There are around nearly 900 police and troops from Kenya, El Salvador, Jamaica, Guatemala and Belize. More than $110 million has been paid into a U.N. trust fund for the mission, more than half of it from Canada, according to U.N. data.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The United States has notified the United Nations that it is freezing funding to a UN-backed mission in Haiti tasked with fighting gangs trying to seize full control of the country’s capital, the United Nations said Tuesday.
