The United States government is evaluating a proposal to task the U.S. Southern Command with developing a strategic plan to address the security crisis in Haiti.

The move to involve the U.S. military reflects growing concerns regarding the efficacy of existing diplomatic and multilateral frameworks in restoring order and curbing the influence of narcotics-trafficking gangs within the country.
