Haiti - FLASH : In favor of Venezuela, Haiti could be the target of the Trump administration
The 48th General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) is being held in Washington DC (June 4-5) to establish Venezuela's status in the Organization.

Despite pressure from the international community and the severe US economic measures against Venezuela, the President of the Bolivarian Republic Nicolas Maduro, can always count on the support of several Caribbean countries, while others hesitate for fear of to be the next target of American retaliation ...

Among the countries likely to pressure and be the target of the US, Haiti, whose abstentions on the Venezuelan issue to the OAS and the positions of Jovenel Moïse, acting Presidnet of the OAS in favor of Venezuela, frustrate and increasingly annoy the Trump administration and some US lawmakers.

Recall that already in March 2017, while fifteen countries of the OAS had voted for sanctions against Venezuela: Haiti, El Salvador and the Dominican Republic had voted against and supported on the contrary Venezuela at a meeting of OAS https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-20505-haiti-politics-tensions-within-the-oas-on-venezuela-haiti-dismayed.html The US Senator Marco Rubio had qualified on his Twitter account the vote of Haiti and the other two countries of "Shameful Votes"

Last April, Jovenel Moïse met with Acting US Secretary of State John Sullivan and Senator Marco Rubio who asked him to take a stand as CARICOM President ai, but evading the issue, Moses had instead suggested to server as mediator because of his good relations with the Venezuelan in an attempt to restore relations between the two countries, a response that had not satisfied Senator Rubio at all.

"Venezuelan problems must be solved by Venezuelans. This is the only way to reach a lasting solution," said Chancellor Antonio Rodrigue in his address to the 48th General Assembly Monday, calling on Venezuelans" to seek the path of dialogue and consultation with a view to finding a solution harmonious and peaceful solution to the political and socio-economic situation faced by this brother country." Recalling the duty of mutual assistance that must prevail among OAS member countries. The Chancellor reaffirmed Haiti's support for President Maduro's regime, which is becoming increasingly isolated within the organization.

Monday at the end of the first day, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on member states to take a resolution to suspend Venezuela's participation in the OAS.

Tuesday's vote will be an important test for diplomats in Latin America and the Caribbean who have so far been reluctant to take punitive action against any of their members.
