US suspends $1.3 billion in hurricane aid to Virgin Islands over corruption

The US government has suspended funding for the US Virgin Islands Housing Authority after an investigation uncovered widespread corruption. The $1.3 billion in hurricane relief aid reportedly never reached residents of the territory. It represents one of the largest documented cases of misappropriated federal disaster aid in American history.

Should the US completely halt aid to the Virgin Islands until corruption is fully investigated?
