The United States will send military aid to Latin America instead of Ukraine.

The Washington Post reports that the Trump administration will defy leading Democrats on House committees and redirect funds intended for Europe and Middle Eastern countries to Panama, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.

$52 million had been allocated for Tunisia, Iraq, Slovakia, and North Macedonia. Under the plan, some of the funds were supposed to be sent through the latter two countries to aid Kyiv.

The article says that funding for Iraq and Tunisia was provided under other legislative acts and was not subject to the congressional ban, although the funds were redirected from those countries during a difficult period for them—amid the U.S. war with Iran and the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.

❗️Many funding channels for Ukraine are now being closed or put on hold: on October 1, the EU refused Ukraine’s request to release funds early from the €90 billion loan.
