The United States says it is preparing measures aimed at violent gangs in Haiti that it says profit through social media. Multiple outlets report that Mike Waltz, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations, says the U.S. government will soon move to stop those gangs from making money off social media posts.
The reporting is based on Waltz’s comments, which frame the effort as part of broader U.S. efforts to curb gang violence in Haiti. Outlets describe the focus as targeting the gangs’ ability to generate revenue through online content, rather than addressing specific platforms or detailing operational steps.
While the stories agree on the core claim—that Washington intends to take action against violent Haitian gangs profiting via social media—they differ only in how they present the statement and where it was carried. One outlet notes that the comments were made during a report from San Juan, Puerto Rico, carried by AP, while others attribute the same message directly to Waltz.
No additional specifics, such as timing details, legal mechanisms, or enforcement methods, are provided in the accounts summarized here.
