When the Trump administration's top envoy to the United Nations visited Haiti earlier this month, the trip went largely unnoticed until Ambassador Mike Waltz posted about it on social media.

The U.S. envoy to the United Nations said Monday that the U.S. government soon will move to stop violent gangs in Haiti from making money off social media posts.
Gang leaders in the troubled Caribbean country are prolific users of social media and have celebrated killings, issued threats and posted musings on various sites. Younger gang members also post music videos and wave cash they've earned in an effort to recruit children in the impoverished nation.
