"Haiti's Violent Crisis: Blinken to Meet Caribbean Leaders as Gangs Grow"

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet with Caribbean leaders in Jamaica to address the escalating crisis in Haiti, with pressure mounting on Prime Minister Ariel Henry to resign or agree to a transitional council. Gang violence has led to widespread chaos, including attacks on government targets, prison breaks, and a humanitarian crisis. The international community, including the U.N., is urging for a peaceful political transition and the urgent deployment of a multinational force to help end the violence and support the Haitian National Police.
