US President Joe Biden's administration has rejected plans to send their troops to Haiti in the Kenya-led peacekeeping mission. The decision to not send US troops to the Caribbean nation was made despite requests from Haitian officials who argued that Kenya's deployment had been delayed leading to more chaos. Last week, Benin pledged to send 2,000 troops to the mission. Despite the ruling President William Ruto pledged to deploy the officers after talks with Haiti officials. On Friday, March 1, Ruto and Haiti Prime Minister Ariel Henry signed an agreement to deploy the police officers.
