Authorities in Haiti are investigating Moïse’s killing with assistance from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and personnel from Colombia’s government. President Biden has condemned the assassination and appealed for calm, but on Thursday he appeared to turn down a request from Haiti’s government for military security assistance. Speaking at the White House, Biden said a contingent of Marines would be sent to reinforce the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince. Deploying American troops elsewhere in Haiti, he said, is “not on the agenda.”
