The White House called Friday for the swift deployment of a Kenyan-led multinational force in Haiti after a US couple were among three missionaries killed in the violence-stricken Caribbean nation.
โThe security situation in Haiti cannot wait,โ said a National Security Council spokesperson, stressing that President Joe Biden had pledged to support the โexpedited deploymentโ of the force in talks with Kenyaโs president on Thursday.
โOur hearts go out to the families of those killed as they experience unimaginable grief,โ the spokesperson added.
โMy heart is broken into a million pieces. Iโve never felt this kind of pain. โ
Missouri State Representative Ben Bakerโs daughter and son-in-law were killed by a gang in Haiti, according to lawmakers and state officials.
