CARICOM leaders spoke to Trudeau about how Canada can help create a safer, greener world, with a focus on climate change, reforming financial institutions and securing Haiti from a gang crisis
Haiti Prime Minister Ariel Henry and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau take part in a bilateral meeting during the Canada-CARICOM Summit in Ottawa on Oct. 18.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s been pushing the global community to target Haiti’s political class before a gang crisis further destabilizes the Caribbean.
Kenya is preparing to lead a military intervention, which the United Nations Security Council approved this month, to stop gang violence. Canadian officials say the RCMP will likely send police, while the country is focused on helping Haiti maintain stability after the intervention ends. On Wednesday, Trudeau’s office publicly pressured Henry to work with his political opponents, releasing a statement touching on “the urgent need for a power-sharing agreement between Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry and opposition groups.”
He argued Haitians must be empowered to fix the problems themselves, which he said involves having more countries put “in the line of fire” corrupt elites who have allowed gangs to thrive. He added that Canada will always help Haiti. Trudeau said Canadian industries can partner with countries in the region for green infrastructure, “smart agriculture” and renewable energy.
