Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has revealed that Canada will deploy Royal Canadian Navy vessels off the coast of Haiti in the coming weeks, amid widespread insecurity and gang violence in the country.
The prime minister spoke from Nassau, Bahamas, during a meeting of Caribbean leaders on Thursday, saying the vessels will conduct surveillance, gather intelligence and maintain a maritime presence off the coast of Haiti in the coming weeks.
While Trudeau said it was important to confront the “severity” of the situation, Canada stopped short of pledging any type of military presence on the ground.
The Caribbean nation has been thrown into chaos over the past year by relentless anti-government protests, rampant kidnappings and a recent resurgence of deadly cholera.
