The State Department has confirmed that the U.S. continues to fund security measures in Haiti, countering reports by the Washington Post that suggested the administration was scaling back efforts. Under Secretary Marco Rubio approved waivers to bypass funding freezes, ensuring continued support for the Haitian National Police and the UN-backed Multinational Security Support mission. The funding includes equipment such as weapons, surveillance drones, and medical support. This support is critical amid Haiti's instability following the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, which led to a power vacuum exploited by gangs, particularly Viv Ansanm, who now control much of Port-au-Prince. Rubio emphasized the U.S. commitment to stabilizing Haiti, contradicting claims of reduced involvement.
