The US has imposed sanctions on two Haitian politicians accused of involvement in drug trafficking
The US Treasury Department levied financial sanctions against Joseph Lambert, “the sitting President of the Haitian Senate has held political positions in Haiti for 20 years” and Youri Latortue, “a former Haitian Senator and a longtime politician.” In addition, the State Department imposed visa sanctions on Lambert and his wife, making them generally ineligible to enter the US.
” Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in a separate statement announcing the visa sanctions, said, “there is credible information of Lambert’s involvement in a gross violation of human rights, namely an extrajudicial killing, during his government tenure.” CNN has reached out Lambert and Youri for comment.
