Donald Trump’s new travel ban hits Haiti with unrelenting severity: a total entry ban into the United States. The justifications—high visa overstay rates, a recent migration crisis, and the Haitian state’s dysfunction—are harsh. Yet, in the face of this brutal exclusion with devastating human and economic consequences for thousands of families and bilateral exchanges, Haiti’s diplomacy under Jean Harvel Jean Baptiste remains strangely silent.

Where is the official protest? Where are the urgent démarches in Washington to negotiate relief or demand clarification? This passivity resembles abandonment.

While other nations affected by partial restrictions may already be engaged in talks, Port-au-Prince appears paralyzed, either unable or unwilling to defend its citizens. This silence is not just deafening—it is complicit in the growing isolation of a country already in deep crisis.

Haitian diplomacy under Jean Harvel Jean Baptiste has an obligation: break this silence and act immediately to mitigate this harsh blow dealt to the first Black Republic.
