Haiti's new prime minister, Garry Conille, traveled to the U.S. to meet top Democrats and plead for more funds to help the besieged country fight the criminal gangs that control vast swaths of its territory, The New York Times reported.
Despite Republican opposition, the Biden administration is set to release $100 million for an international mission tasked with aiding local forces. However, Conille said more money would be needed soon, emphasizing that "this is a critical point."
