Royal Caribbean cruise ships will temporarily avoid the port of Labadee, Haiti, due to the worsening security situation in the Caribbean country.
Royal Caribbean cruises will no longer sail to Haiti for at least the next week, the company’s CEO says, as gang violence and political turmoil have plunged the Caribbean nation into chaos.
Haiti Prime Minister Ariel Henry announced Tuesday that he will resign, bowing to international pressure to do so. In a statement, Henry agreed to leave office once a transitional presidential council is created and an interim prime minister is named. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday the crisis in Haiti "has been a long unfolding story" that will require coordination from the international community to solve.
