Secretary of State Antony Blinken is visiting Haiti on Thursday as a show of support for the country's leadership, currently struggling in the political and security fronts despite repeated attempts at stabilization.
"This is a crucial moment in Haiti," said Brian Nichols, assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs ahead of the visit. "We're seeing that forward movement on the security side that we've long waited for. But we also need to see progress on the political side, and Haiti's political parties are a priority for the secretary to make sure that progress toward elections moves forward."
