U.S. Military forces were sent in to Haiti to airlift nonessential staff from the U.S. embassy and help bolster security amid gang violence in the country.
The U.S. military has sent forces to Haiti to airlift nonessential staff from the U.S. embassy and help bolster security amid gang violence plaguing the Caribbean nation. U.S. Southern Command told Fox News Digital that U.S. Military forces conducted an operation at the request of the State Department to bolster the security of the U.S. Embassy at Port-au-Prince. U.S. Southern Command said non-essential personnel were airlifted, and no Haitians were on board the aircraft.
Dominican President Luis Abinader said Saturday that Henry was not welcome in his country for 'safety reasons' and his presence there would not be 'considered appropriate.' Henry, a neurosurgeon, was appointed as Haiti's prime minister after the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moise. Henry agreed last month to hold a general election by mid-2025, and the international community has tried to find some foreign armed forces willing to fight gang violence there.
Caribbean leaders have called for an emergency meeting Monday in Jamaica on what they called Haiti's 'dire' situation. They have invited the United States, France, Canada, the United Nations and Brazil to the meeting. It was unclear whether Henry will be in attendance.
