US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited the Dominican Republic to discuss a range of issues with President Luis Abinader, with a primary focus on the ongoing crisis in Haiti. The discussions highlighted concerns over gang violence in Haiti, which has resulted in a surge of migrants entering the Dominican Republic, placing strain on local resources. Abinader expressed worries regarding the lack of resources for a UN-backed mission led by Kenya aimed at restoring security in Haiti, particularly in light of recent prison escapes. Blinken announced an additional $45 million in humanitarian aid for Haiti and emphasized the importance of security for progress in the region. The visit also aimed to strengthen US-Dominican relations and address economic growth and human rights concerns. This trip follows recent tensions involving the confiscation of a Venezuelan presidential plane by the US, adding a geopolitical dimension to Blinken's regional engagements.
