The US has deployed a Marine anti-terrorism unit to protect its embassy in Haiti amid ongoing violence and unrest caused by gangs. The deployment comes as part of a broader effort to support a peaceful transition of power in Haiti, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken announcing a $100 million multinational force and $33 million in humanitarian aid.
