Internal emails reveal that a US legal counselor inside the IDB proposed to the US Treasury Department that, though the loans faced no legitimate technical obstacles, the US could effectively block them by “slowing” the process. Indeed, by requesting further review of the loans, Haiti would have to make scheduled payments before the funds were even disbursed.
En fait, compte tenu de la demande d’examiner les prêts en détail, Haïti aurait dû procéder aux remboursements avant même que les fonds ne soient déboursés.
