United States considers tougher Haiti embargo plan with military ceding power
Administration officials briefed Aristide and Congress on a new approach to Haiti policy. Steps would include the Haitian military stepping down, Parliament confirming a prime minister chosen by Aristide, and an amnesty law for the ousted forces. The plan tightens the embargo, seeks Dominican cooperation to curb fuel smuggling, and may seek a U N backed mandatory embargo if the military resists.
