US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced on Monday that the US would provide an additional $133 million to support efforts to resolve the crisis in Haiti, which has been hit hard by armed gang violence amid challenges to the legitimacy of de facto Prime Minister Ariel’s government. Henri.

The US Secretary of State, who expressed himself during an emergency regional meeting in Jamaica on the case of Haiti, considered that the fact that the situation is out of control in the poorest country of the Western Hemisphere shows the urgency of the development of an international armed force, in which the Washington intends to allocate an additional $100 million, as well as another $33 million to distribute humanitarian aid to the population.

With this amount, the US has now pledged to contribute over $300 million. As of yesterday, however, less than 11 million dollars had been deposited in a special UN trust for dealing with the crisis in Haiti.

The mission of the international armed force, which Kenya has offered to lead, was approved by the United Nations Security Council in October, but its deployment has been delayed by several obstacles. As of today, the timetable for this remains unclear.
