SANTO DOMINGO — Truckers in the Dominican Republic are blocking the principal route into Haiti to protest what they say is an increase in attacks on truckers in the Haitian capital.

Drivers union leader Blas Peralta says about 50 truckers have joined the protest at the Jimani border crossing. The Dominican government says about half of the nation’s exports to Haiti pass through the crossing.
