In response to ongoing instability and security concerns in Haiti, President Joseph R. Biden Jr. has announced the deployment of U.S. military personnel to Port-au-Prince to bolster the security of the United States Embassy and its supporting facilities. The deployment, which took place on March 12, 2024, aims to protect U.S. diplomatic personnel and assets in the Haitian capital amidst heightened security challenges.

While the deployed security force is equipped for combat, the President emphasized that their presence in Haiti is strictly a precautionary measure, focused solely on the safety of U.S. diplomatic endeavors. The decision to deploy military personnel underscores the United States' commitment to ensuring the security of its diplomatic missions worldwide.

President Biden has stated that the duration of the U.S. Armed Forces' presence in Haiti will be dictated by the security environment on the ground. The move is part of the President's broader responsibility to safeguard U.S. interests abroad, leveraging his constitutional powers as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive, and in alignment with U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives.

This action was communicated to Congress in a letter from the President, reaffirming his commitment to keeping the legislative body fully informed in accordance with the War Powers Resolution (Public Law 93-148). The President expressed gratitude for Congress's support in this endeavor, highlighting the importance of collaborative efforts to protect U.S. diplomatic missions and personnel around the globe.
