I made this call because it ' s my duty to safeguard our diplomatic missions abroad and it aligns with our national security and foreign policy interests . It ' s all within my constitutional authority as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive , you know? And hey , I ' m filling you in on all this because I want to keep Congress fully informed , just like the War Powers Resolution requires . Thanks for your support in this matter . Joseph R . Biden Jr . So , you know how things have been pretty shaky in Haiti lately? Well , we ' ve been trying to sort things out , but there are still some major security concerns for our embassy and its facilities in Port - au - Prince . To make sure our diplomatic personnel and facilities are safe , on March 12 , 2024 , I sent a bunch of military personnel to beef up security at the embassy . Now , these guys are ready for combat , but we ' re sending them as a precautionary measure just to protect our people and property . They ' ll stick around as long as needed to ensure security .
