With the United States’ national security community focused on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, NATO expansion, China’s increasingly surging influence, Iran’s continuing development of its nuclear program etc., it is easy to understand how Haiti’s travails might be overlooked, especially by an American public transfixed by our own domestic political dramas. The Biden team is to be commended for its efforts to date to forge a response to the crisis but the Biden administration, the U.S. congress, the United Nations and the other donor countries need to understand that reviving and rebuilding Haiti will take patience as well as money and a security force.
