Alors que le mandat du Conseil présidentiel de transition prend fin le 7 février, nous soutenons le leadership du Premier ministre Fils-Aimé dans la construction d’une Haïti forte, prospère et libre.

The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince advises U.S. citizens of ongoing security operations north and south of the embassy and in Croix-de-Bouquets. Heavy gunfire is reported in the area. U.S. government personnel have halted all movements. The embassy remains open for emergency services.

The U.S. objective for Haiti remains the establishment of baseline security and stability. The U.S. would regard any effort to change the composition of the government by the non-elected TPC at this late stage in its tenure to be an effort to undermine that objective and as such null and void. The U.S. would consider anyone supporting such a disruptive step favoring the gangs to be acting contrary to the interests of the United States, the region, and the Haitian people and will act accordingly.

Les États-Unis ont annoncé l'arrivée d'un contingent supplémentaire de Marines à Port-au- afin de renforcer la sécurité de leur ambassade en Haïti en coordination avec le gouvernement haïtien.

U.S. Marines in Haiti exchanged gunfire this week with suspected gang members, U.S. military officials said Saturday, in an incident that highlights the precarious security environment in the island nation.
