Note: The “president” in the title is Haitian President Jovenel Moïse.

Through no fault of your own, no doubt. You thought exactly what the author (or editor) intended for you, and everyone else, to think.

I did not get that impression. The Intercept has covered a number of stories about Haiti and there are plenty of people who are aware of the political situation over there.

Putting "US", "president", "$80M", and "scheme" in the title was definitely done on purpose. The title could have easily been phrased differently to make it clear that the president in question was the Haitian president but that wouldn't get as many clicks.

Really? It didn't occur to me that it could be a president of any country but Haiti.
