The Biden administration is warning top Republican Congressional officials that a multinational force cannot be deployed to Haiti unless they lift their long-standing hold on the release of major U.S. funds, a potentially significant obstacle for the House Blanche as she tackles a serious crisis in the Caribbean country. the Miami Herald reported late Thursday.
The months-long quiet conflict between the White House and senior Republican Party leaders over the funding request boiled over this week, as the prospect of Haiti’s government falling into the hands of gangs became a palpable fear across Washington.
Any delay in deploying this force, which will be led by Kenyan police, could be fatal to the Haitian government, which is currently under attack from a united front of powerful gangs across the nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince.
