The US government has frozen more than  $13 million (Sh1.7 billion) in  funds for the Kenya-led Multinational Security Mission in  Haiti, following President Donald Trump's 90-day  freeze on foreign  aid.
The United Nations confirmed the  decision on Tuesday,  surprising many, including  Kenyan officials.
"The US had  pledged $15 million to the trust fund; $1.7 million of that  has already been spent, so $13.3 million is now frozen," UN  spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
"We  have received an official  notice from the  United States of America, requesting an  order to immediately cease work on  its contribution. »
The international security mission,  although approved by the  UN Security Council, is not a  UN operation and currently relies on voluntary contributions.
