Washington: The United States said that Monday helped investigate the murder of President Haitian Jovenel Moise and did not rule out sending troops at Haiti’s request.
According to Haiti authorities, the 28 men’s hit squad – 26 Colombians and two US citizens – killing the President at his home last week, also injured his wife.
“At the request of the Haitian government, the Ministry of Justice, along with US government partners, helped Haiti National Police in the investigation,” the department said in a statement.
“The initial assessment has been conducted in Haiti by senior US officials.
The department will continue to support the Haitian government in a review of facts and circumstances that surround this vile attack.” This adds it will also investigate whether there are US laws have been damaged.
“Political leaders need to gather,” Biden told reporters before.
“US advantages are ready to continue to provide assistance.” The Secretary of the White Press Building Jen PSaki said the US law enforcement delegation and national security officials who visited Haiti on Sunday noted the country’s instability after Moise’s murder.
“What is clear about their journey is that there is a lack of clarity about future political leadership,” PSAKI said.
He said Haiti’s request for US forces to deploy and provide security “still under analysis.” Asked whether the White House ruled out sending troops, he said “no.” There was no motive known for murder, and questions circled about who masterminded murder.
The US delegation represented the Ministry of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Security Council met with Haiti high-ranking officials.
“The delegation reviewed the security of critical infrastructure with Haitian government officials and met with the Haitian National Police, who led an investigation into the murder,” said NSC spokesman Emily Horne.
They also met with Haitian political leaders, including the temporary prime minister Claude Joseph and the Senate President Joseph Lambert, “to encourage open and constructive dialogue to reach a political agreement that can enable the state to hold free and fair elections.”
