Many details of the attack remain under investigation. Haitian police have arrested more than 20 people, including former Colombian soldiers, two Haitian Americans, and aHaitian with long-standing ties to Florida. APentagon spokesperson said the U.S. military helped train a small number of the Colombian suspects in the past. Protesters and opposition groups had been calling for Moise to resign since 2019. The assassination's aftermath, on top of several preexisting crises in Haiti, likely points to a period of major instability, presenting challenges for U.S. policymakers and for congressional oversight of the U.S. response and assistance. The BidenAdministration requested $188 million in U. S. assistance for Haiti in FY2022. Congress has previously held hearings, and the cochair of the House Haiti Caucus made a statement on July 7 suggesting reexaminations of U.S. policy options on Haiti.
