Top Democratic leaders in Congress met with Haiti's new prime minister, Garry Conille, to discuss further American assistance in light of the recent arrival of a U.S.-backed international police mission in Haiti. The Biden administration plans to release $100 million for the mission, despite Republican opposition. Mr. Conille stressed the urgent need for additional funding to address critical infrastructure and service delivery. The international community's mission aims to restore stability in Haiti, a country besieged by gang violence and political turmoil. However, the funding efforts face opposition from senior Republicans in Congress, who question the mission's specific goals and success metrics. The situation in Haiti has been exacerbated by natural disasters, food shortages, and the assassination of President Moïse in 2021. Democrats in Congress are hopeful that the international police mission will pave the way for stability and democratic transition in Haiti, emphasizing the importance of a successful outcome.
