Secretary of State Antony Blinken explained how the US plans to support a proposed UN deployment to Haiti aimed at restoring order in the country. The Whtie House intends to spend $100 million to support the Kenyan soldiers sent to the Caribbean nation. Washington believes the troops could be deployed to Haiti within a few months.

On Friday, Blinken hosted a meeting in New York of countries that support Washington’s effort to get the UN Security Council to approve a resolution that would see Kenya lead an international force in Haiti.

“As the Haitian National Police works to get to full strength and capacity, security assistance from international partners can play a critical bridging role. That’s why the United States supports the UN-backed Multinational Security Support mission,” the American diplomat said in his address.

Blinked went on to pledge $165 million in military assistance to Port-au-Prince and Nairobi. “[The US] also announcing an additional $65 million to further professionalize the Haitian National Police and strengthen its capacity to dismantle the gangs and to safeguard communities,” he announced. “[The White House] intends to work with our Congress to provide $100 million in support, and our Department of Defense is prepared to provide robust enabling support – including planning assistance, intelligence support, airlift, communications, and medical support.”

Blinken noted the White House previously provided Port-au-Prince with over $120 million in security assistance.

The UN has been in Haiti and with atrocious outcome.

Last year, the White House pressured Canada to lead the UN mission to Haiti, but Ottawa resisted the Biden administration’s request. In August, Washington announced it had enlisted Nairobi to lead the mission.

There are significant potential issues if UN soldiers are deployed to Haiti. In 2010, UN personnel released sewage into water that contained the country’s drinking supply, causing a cholera outbreak that claimed nearly 10,000 lives. Additionally, according to the State Department, Kenyan security forces routinely commit human rights atrocities.

Biden will send 100 million, $9,999,990. Will go to him and his family and the rest to Haiti

How many times in the past century and a quarter has the US sent troops, etc., to Haiti, "aimed at restoring order in the country"? Until Haitians unite to be united and to squash tinpot-dictator-wannabes, no mission "aimed at restoring order in the country" can succeed.

Zackly. The Clintonistas engaged into that (which did a lot to line their own pockets) and after the 2010 earthquake in that island shithole, Barry Soetoro sent lotsa money and even troop support, thinly disguised as "disaster relief."

In 2021, SharterJoe bequeathed $71.2 million and is now upping his game. Inflation, you know?

Are we seeing a pattern here?

And if’ the un sends in troops it will only make things worse.

Haiti is a lost cause we need to clean up the mess here that progressives have made of our cities and country.
