Port-au-Prince, April 24, 2026.- Back in Haiti, this Friday, April 24, 2026, after his trip to Washingto, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé took stock of his mission to the United States. At a press briefing at Toussaint Louverture International Airport, he claimed he had obtained commitments on security, the deployment of the Gang Law Enforcement Force (GRF), the GST file and economic recovery.
Après plusieurs jours de rencontres à Washington, le chef du gouvernement haïtien, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, affirme avoir placé Haïti au centre des priorités internationales. Lors de son intervention au salon diplomatique de l’aéroport international Toussaint Louverture, ce vendredi 24 avril 2026, il a insisté sur un message central : « restaurer la sécurité, organiser des élections crédibles et relancer l’économie « .
During the mission, the Prime Minister said he had met with several American officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, as well as influential members of the US Congress, including Chuck Schumer and Gregory Meeks. Discussions focused largely on the security crisis in Haiti and ways to respond effectively.
Le chef du gouvernement a été clair : Haïti ne veut pas d’une nouvelle mission inefficace. « Nous ne voulons pas d’une MMAS 2.0 « , a-t-il martelé, appelant les partenaires internationaux à honorer leurs engagements, notamment en ce qui concerne le déploiement complet et l’équipement adéquat des agents de la Force de répression des gangs (FRG).
Economically, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé reported that he had exchanged with international financial institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Inter-American Development Bank. The discussions focused on rapid investments in strategic sectors such as energy, digital and infrastructure to create jobs, especially for young people.
The issue of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) was also discussed with US parliamentarians. The Prime Minister called for the continuation and strengthening of this mechanism in favour of Haitian nationals living in the United States.
Par ailleurs, il a évoqué ses échanges avec des responsables internationaux, notamment à l’Organisation des États américains et aux Nations Unies, où il a réitéré l’urgence d’un appui coordonné à Haïti. Devant le Conseil de sécurité, il a rappelé que « sans sécurité, il n’y a ni démocratie, ni développement « .
Finally, the Prime Minister stressed the importance of the Haitian diaspora, calling for a shift from a logic of financial transfers to a dynamic of productive investment in the national economy.
Despite the persistent challenges, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé expressed confidence in the evolution of the situation, believing that the commitments achieved could contribute to a gradual stabilization of the country.
