Ow, this one hurts. By Jennifer Rubin, “Hey, whatever happened to the border crisis?”:
The administration is facing a crisis — two, in fact. And it is working on both. The first is that the violence, hunger and damage from hurricanes in Central America remains so bad that children are forced to flee. Vice President Harris has been meeting with the Northern Triangle countries to address the underlying problems that cause the mass migration and working on ways to abet the suffering. She is also trying to involve other countries, such as Finland and Japan, to find solutions and provide international assistance to the Northern Triangle. She has been intensifying coordination with humanitarian groups, too. There is no easy fix.
[Bold mine.]
My guess is that abet should be abate.
