The United States has scaled back ties to Uganda over a law punishing homosexuality. Enacted earlier this year, the measure imposes a life sentence for repeated homosexual acts and makes it a crime to not report gay people to Ugandan authorities. On Thursday, the Obama administration cut aid, imposed visa restrictions and canceled a regional military exercise with the Ugandan military. Uganda has been a key U.S. government ally in Africa.
