Reuters: Trump administration reinstates military aid for Ukraine
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s administration has released $250 million in military aid for Ukraine, U.S. senators said on Thursday, after lawmakers from both parties expressed concern that the White House had held up money approved by Congress.
The money is intended for use by Ukraine in its struggle with pro-Russian separatists backed by Moscow. Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimea region in 2014.
Some Democrats had questioned whether the administration had withheld the money to put pressure on Ukraine’s government to support Trump’s re-election campaign by launching an investigation of one of Trump’s main rivals in the 2020 U.S. election.

‘Morally bankrupt and a black mark on America’: Trump condemned for refusing to grant protected status to Bahamian hurricane victims
Hurricane and earthquake victims come here and 10 and 15 years later they are still here.
My idea is that we have 20% of 50% of your countries citizens living in the US, we annex you and impose US law.
Look on the bright side. As US citizens you cannot say that you have been denied entry, which is what liberals teach everyone to whine about.
9 years after the Haitian earthquake the Haitians are still here.
20 years after Hurricane Mitch Hondurans are still here.
"Honduras and Nicaragua became TPS-designated countries in 1999 after Hurricane Mitch cut a swath of devastation through them. In Honduras, "the hurricane killed 5,657 people and displaced approximately 1.1 million people"
