UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has traveled to Haiti to meet leaders of the new transitional government and the Kenyan police who are the vanguard of a U.N.-backed force meant to help curb widespread gang violence. A senior U.S. administration official says Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield’s one-day visit also seeks to encourage action on the humanitarian crisis and political reform leading to democratic elections in 2026. Gangs have grown in power since the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse and now are estimated to control up to 80% of the capital.
