Leslie Voltaire, the head of Haiti’s interim presidential council, declared that the Trump administration’s actions to halt aid, deport migrants, and bar refugees would be “catastrophic” for Haiti. The remark was made by Voltaire in an interview with The Associated Press in Rome during a Vatican meeting with Pope Francis. To request assistance for Haiti, he went to the pope and said, “I’m knocking on the doors of people who love Haiti. The pope loves Haiti, and he is eager to help.”
