Concerns Rise Over Gun Trafficking from the US to Haiti
Recent developments highlight the escalating issue of gun trafficking to Haiti, with reports tracing the flow of weapons from the US. A Florida man has pleaded guilty to smuggling guns to Haiti without a license, facing significant prison time. In response to the chaos fueled by these illegal firearms, US Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has introduced a bill aimed at targeting links between gangs and drug cartels connected to the gun trade. This legislative effort complements a broader anti-arms trafficking initiative in the Caribbean, demonstrating increasing legislative focus on curbing the illegal flow of weapons into Haiti.
