WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said Thursday that he does not currently have plans to send U.S. troops into Haiti to provide security for the Caribbean country in the aftermath of the assassination of its president.
“We’re only sending American Marines to our embassy to make sure that they are secure and nothing is out of whack at all,” Biden said at a news conference. “But the idea of sending American forces into Haiti is not on the agenda at this moment.”
The country is reeling from political turmoil in the aftermath of the killing of President Jovenel Moise last week.
