Secretary of State Antony Blinken is currently in Jamaica engaging in discussions with Caribbean leaders in response to the escalating crisis in Haiti. The urgent push to address the situation in Haiti comes amidst mounting pressure on Prime Minister Ariel Henry to either step down or agree to the formation of a transitional council.
The crisis in Haiti has been exacerbated by a series of attacks carried out by powerful gangs targeting key government installations. These attacks, which commenced in late February, have primarily targeted government buildings in the capital city of Port-au-Prince, resulting in a significant loss of life.
