Biden says sending U.S. forces to Haiti not on the agenda at this moment By Kathryn Watson Biden says no plans to send U.S. troops to Haiti
Washington President Biden said Thursday that sending American forces to Haiti is not on the agenda at this moment. Haiti had asked the U.S. and U.N. for military forces to help secure the nation s major infrastructure in the wake of the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse days ago.
Mr. Biden told reporters at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel that the U.S. is only sending American Marines to the embassy in Haiti to make sure it s secure and nothing is out of whack at all.
The Biden administration s public signals that the jump in inflation come amid mixed signals from key White House officials, who huddled with former Treasury Secretary and inflation scold Larry Summers this week.
Just days after the government revealed a 5.4 per cent jump in inflation in June compared to last year, it was revealed that top Biden economic advisors met with former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who has been loudly raising the alarm about inflation.
He met at the White House with economic advisors Brian Deese and Cecilia Rouse – purportedly about infrastructure. The meeting came Tuesday, the same day the Consumer Price Index inflation figures were released, Bloomberg reported.

President Biden said Thursday he‘s still confident that Congress will approve his multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure packages and he expects Republican senators to “keep their commitment” on the less costly proposal.
“I’ve watched and listened [as] the press declared my initiative dead at least 10 times so far,” Mr. Biden said at a White House press conference. “I don’t think it’s dead, I think it’s still alive. I still have confidence we’re going to be able to get what I proposed, and what I’ve agreed to in a bipartisan agreement on infrastructure.”
