US Designates Haitian Gangs as Terrorist Organizations
In a significant move, the Trump administration has officially designated two powerful armed gangs in Haiti as foreign terrorist organizations. This decision is part of a broader effort to address the rising violence and instability in the region. The US State Department has labeled these gangs as international terrorist organizations, raising concerns among experts regarding the potential impact on humanitarian aid efforts. As the designation is expected to deepen the crisis, legislators are warned about the implications of this classification on support to Haiti amid its ongoing struggles.
