In a bipartisan resolution, the U.S. Senate expressed the need to increase support for the Dominican Republic and other international partners to promote stability in Haiti, resolve the humanitarian crisis in Haiti, and facilitate political solutions supported by the Haitian people.

In this resolution, the upper house of the United States made several recommendations to address the issue of the Haitian crisis and strengthen cooperation between the United States and the Dominican Republic.

The senators urged the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to continue to support the efforts of the Dominican Nation to meet the humanitarian needs of Haitian migrants.

The United States Senate resolution points out that the humanitarian crisis, crime, gang violence and instability in Haiti have increased the risks for the Dominican Republic.
