Haitian leader Edgard Leblanc Fils made headlines during the UN General Assembly when he accidentally spilled water on himself while attempting to drink directly from a jug instead of using a glass. The viral moment occurred during his speech addressing Haiti’s ongoing gang violence and migration crisis. Fils, president of Haiti’s transitional council, also responded to former President Donald Trump’s recent claim that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, were eating pets. He expressed concern about the potential backlash Haitians in the US and globally could face due to this false narrative, which Trump mentioned during a September 10 presidential debate.
