Washington mdash; Fulfilling President Trump s vow, the U.S. government officially announced on Monday it would cut millions of dollars in foreign aid to Central America, warning governments in the region that assistance will only resume when they do more to prevent their citizens from migrating. The move, which the president ordered in late March crocs schuhe , disrupts a long-standing pillar of American foreign policy supported by most Democrats and Republicans in Congress. Lawmakers had been urging the administration to reverse course, fearing the end of American assistance will only exasperate the rampant poverty, deep-rooted political instability and widespread insecurity in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, collectively known as the Northern Triangle. A State Department official said $432 million in aid allocated in fiscal year 2017 will continue, while $185 million would be withheld until the U.S. determines that Central American governments have taken sufficient steps to reduce migration. The approximately $370 million allocated for fiscal year 2018, meanwhile, will be suspended entirely. The official said the administration will work with Congress to reprogram these funds to other foreign policy priorities.

Security Council on Saturday united behind a legally-binding resolution calling for violence to end immediately and peace talks to begin.The Council unanimously approved deployment of a first wave of cease-fire observers to Syria. The resolution, which authorizes an advance team of unarmed observers, passed 15-0, reports CBS News foreign affairs analyst Pamela Falk.

The observer team that the Council authorized is vital to the Kofi Annan peace plan, because it will be an independent source to monitor violations and allow the U.S. and Western nations to return to the U.N. for further steps if the Syrian government does not comply with the plan, CBS Foreign Affairs Analyst Pamela Falk reported from the U.N.
