Trump supported sending thousands of El Salvador troops to Haiti, -. Axios US President Donald Trump supported the decision of Salvadoran President Naive Bocale to significantly increase the military presence in Haiti to fight criminal gangs and search for four missing Salvadoran soldiers. According to Axios, Bukala called Trump on Tuesday to make sure Washington was okay with expanding the military operation. "Do what you think is necessary," Trump responded, according to the publication's sources familiar with the content of the conversation. El Salvador has announced that it will send up to 2,000 troops to Haiti. According to Axios sources, the conditional size may double or triple after that. The decision was agreed with the Haitian authorities. The reason for the increased operation was the attack on October 18, after which four Salvadoran aviation experts disappeared. Bokla demanded that the armed groups return the soldiers alive and threatened a large-scale response. "We have already finished the gangs in El Salvador and we can finish you" - he said. According to Axios, Bukala previously suggested the Trump administration use Salvadoran forces to restore security in Haiti with US support. However, Secretary of State Marco Rubio did not support this initiative. El Salvador also asked Washington for military equipment, including UAVs and transport planes, but was officially rejected. Amid the ongoing violence, Haiti's electoral council has postponed the presidential election until next year. According to the publication, since the beginning of the year more than 5,700 people have died as a result of violence by armed groups in the country. Hakin.az Contact us.
