There’s a more-responsible way for the U.S. to help the people of Haiti
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)

These trade benefits are due to expire in 2025, but the HELP Extension Act would extend the benefits through 2035 to provide economic certainty to the thousands of Haitians employed in the apparel industry…
Our work is far from done, though, and I will continue to work with the Biden administration, my Senate colleagues and the Haitian community to implement policies that improve the quality of life of all Haitians.
