Secretary Blinken: Hey Mr . President , thanks for your leadership today and always . Shoutout to Prime Minister Holness and all the CARICOM heads for setting up this meeting . It ' s great to see everyone coming together to help Haiti during these tough times . We ' re here in Kingston to discuss the political crisis and violence in Haiti and figure out how we can help . We ' re listening to your ideas and offering support for the plan to create a presidential college and improve security . We ' ve been working hard on this and are confident that we can find a solution together . The situation in Haiti is getting worse , so we ' re stepping up our support for the Multinational Support Mission . The United States Department of Defense is now doubling its support to $200 million . Let ' s keep working together to bring stability and progress to Haiti . We ' re putting up $300 million to support this effort , along with an additional $33 million for humanitarian assistance in Haiti . It ' s important that the Haitian people have control over their own future , but we can all pitch in to help provide security and relief for them . Today has been productive , and I ' m hopeful that our discussions will lead to a plan that moves us in the right direction . Thank you to the President and Prime Minister for their efforts . ( Applause ) .
