Trump Labels Haiti’s Powerful Gangs as Terrorists

Why did it take the Trump administration so long to designate the powerful Haiti gang, Viv Ansanm, as a terrorist group? This move could worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis, with gangs controlling key economic and distribution points. The coalition, which emerged last year under a pledge to protect civilians but quickly turned to violence against communities and state institutions, now faces potential economic penalties and military action from the U.S., raising concerns about escalating violence in a country already struggling with instability.
