U.S. military officials announced the arrival of American warships off the coast of Haiti. This comes as the country's ruling Presidential Council clings to power and violence from drug gangs worsens. The embassy statement added that the fleet was sent 'under the direction of' Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth as part of 'Operation Southern Spear'. This operation targets drug traffickers in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, which has yielded results so far. The U.S. warships USS Stockdale, USCGC Stone, and USCGC Diligence entered Port-au-Prince Bay. This reflects the United States' firm commitment to Haiti's security, stability, and bright future, as posted by the U.S. Embassy in Haiti on platform X.
