The Dominican Republic will close its busy land border with Haiti starting Friday at 6 a.m. amid an escalating conflict over Haitian plans to divert part of the river that divides the two nations.
Dominican President Luis Abinader said Thursday he would continue talking to the Haitian government to resolve the crisis. But he acknowledged his neighbor didn’t have complete control over the region where the canal project is being built.
