Senator Frederica Wilson commended the United Nation’s naming of former President Bill Clinton as special envoy to Haiti.
Senator Wilson said: “With the selection of Bill Clinton, the issues facing Haiti will now get greater attention. Last year’s natural disasters left Haiti’s economy on the brink and its families struggling. We need to do more to help Haiti rebuild and that includes trade preferences for Haitian clothing exports. As Congresswoman, that’s something I’d support. Haiti needs more than just aid, it needs opportunity and sustainable development.”
