US Restricts Visas for Haitian Council Members

The United States has put restrictions on visas for two members of Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council and their families.

The U.S. says these members are involved with gangs and are making it harder for the Haitian government to deal with these gangs.

The council was supposed to help Haiti have its first election in ten years, but it has been delayed because of fights between the police and gangs.

The council’s time in charge is ending soon, and there isn’t a clear plan for what happens next.

Some council members want the prime minister to be removed, but the U.S. wants him to stay.

Haiti’s embassy and the U.S. State Department didn’t give more details right away.
