Rubio stressed that only consistent and strong leadership, backed by the full support of the Haitian people, can bring an end to the violence destabilizing the country.<\/p>\n<p>During the call, Secretary Rubio underscored the need for decisive political action, stating that the Transitional Presidential Council (TPC) must be dissolved by February 7. He warned against corrupt actors attempting to interfere in Haiti\u2019s transition toward democratically elected governance for their own personal or political gain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaiti\u2019s leader must choose Haiti\u2019s stability,\u201d Rubio said, according to the statement, emphasizing that the country\u2019s path forward depends on prioritizing national security and democratic institutions over factional interests.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary also issued a strong warning to corrupt politicians who enable or support violent gangs, making clear that the United States would impose severe consequences on those contributing to terrorism and instability in Haiti. Washington, he added, remains committed to holding accountable individuals who undermine peace and exploit the Haitian people.<\/p>\n<p>The call reflects growing U.S. concern over Haiti\u2019s deteriorating security situation and signals continued American engagement as the Caribbean nation seeks to restore order and move toward elected governance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rubio Reaffirms U.S. Support for Haiti, Urges Strong Leadership Amid Gang Violence. &nbsp;
