WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden condemned the “heinous” killing of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse on Wednesday, saying the assassination was a “worrisome” sign for the Caribbean nation.
Moïse’s killing at his Port-au-Prince home in the early hours of Wednesday morning sent U.S. diplomats and national security officials scrambling to gather information to determine what happened. The United States offered assistance to Haitian authorities in their investigation into his murder.
But it was not immediately clear what kind of assistance the United States would provide. U.S. officials said they stood ready to receive specific requests for help.
