US sends additional troops to Haiti to secure embassy amid gang violence

The United States has sent more troops to Haiti amid a rise in gang violence to help beef up security at the US embassy in Port-au-Prince which is now largely controlled by gangs. Leaders of Caribbean nations have called an emergency meeting in Jamaica today to address the worsening situation in Haiti. The United States has been trying to help arrange a UN backed security force in the country, but so far that effort has been unsuccessful. As armed gangs roam freely throughout the country and violence spreads virtually paralyzing the hemisphere's poorest nation, the UN says nearly half of Haiti's 11 million people are now in need of humanitarian assistance. ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Twitter:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Instagram:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on TikTok:   / scrippsnews
