The U.S. position, though akin to support for stability, conceals a more subtle message. Washington condemns the gangs and supports a multinational mission, but does not legitimize the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT).
Its rejection of violence to remove the CPT does not imply unconditional support for this body. This omission indicates that the international community regards the CPT as a perfectible transitional mechanism, leaving open the possibility of a political alternative.
The terms used suggest a willingness to modify current arrangements, favoring a negotiated and inclusive transition.

All in all, the conditional support of the United States and CARICOM reveals that the already weakened Conseil présidentiel de transition (CPT) could soon be replaced, with no intention on the part of international partners to provoke a chaotic collapse, but rather to encourage peaceful change.
