"Biden's Backing for Haiti's Unpopular Leader Deepens U.S. Policy Hole Amid Country's Crisis"

The Biden administration's unwavering support for Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry, despite widespread opposition, has exacerbated Haiti's political crisis and deepened the country's descent into chaos. The power vacuum, exacerbated by a mass prison escape and police withdrawal, has led to attacks on state institutions by armed groups demanding Henry's resignation. The U.S. has faced criticism for its support of Henry, with calls for a Haitian-led solution to replace him with an oversight committee. The Biden administration has defended its approach, but the situation in Haiti continues to deteriorate, raising questions about the effectiveness of potential U.S. intervention.
