US restricts visas for two members of Haiti’s Transitional Presidential CouncilThe U.S. State Department said on Sunday it was imposing visa restrictions on members of Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council and revoking the visas of two council members and their immediate families. The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for more information. Rubio insisted that the council dissolve as scheduled but emphasized the importance of Fils-Aime remaining in his post, a State Department spokesperson said. Two council members called on Friday for the removal of Fils-Aime from his post. The council was appointed in 2024 to oversee a move toward Haiti’s first election in a decade.
