The US plans to supply the armed forces of Haiti with high-powered weapons and armored vehicles to assist the country in addressing its security challenges.

The plan was disclosed during a recent virtual meeting initiated by the US government to address the security, political, and economic challenges Haiti is facing and offer support in providing safety for its people.
