Top U.S. and Canadian Officials Meet to Consider Armed Intervention Force in Haiti
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Canada has sent a delegation to Haiti to assess security and
humanitarian concerns as the country faces worsening political
instability and gang activity. Canada's foreign minister and Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau met with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken
in Ottawa Thursday as the two countries push for an international armed
intervention in Haiti. Haitians have taken to the streets in recent
weeks denouncing foreign aid and occupation, saying the U.S. and other
powers have contributed to the destabilization of Haiti. Protesters are
also demanding the resignation of U.S.-backed Haitian Prime Minister
Ariel Henry.
