Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is en route to Jamaica for an emergency meeting to address the escalating situation in Haiti. The US embassy in Haiti has evacuated non-essential personnel due to the surge in gang violence near the compound.
Blinken is advocating for Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henri, who is currently in Puerto Rico and unable to return to Haiti, to announce a transitional government. However, it remains uncertain if Henri will travel to Jamaica to meet with Blinken.
