The United States is not calling for Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry to resign, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said, as armed gangs seek to oust him and violence has dramatically escalated in the country.
Miller told reporters the US is urging Henry to expedite the transition to an empowered and inclusive governance structure that will help the country prepare for a multinational security support mission and pave the way for free and fair elections.
Miller declined to give details on the whereabouts of Henry, who remains outside the country and landed on Tuesday in the US territory of Puerto Rico after traveling to Kenya.
