The United States President Donald Trump's administration has donated 20 additional armoured personnel carriers to bolster the peacekeeping mission in Haiti.

While confirming the arrival of the armoured vehicles on Thursday, February 20, the US Department of State revealed that the machinery was critical in combating gang violence in the war-torn country.

According to the United States government, the 20 armoured vehicles will be used by the 1000 Multinational Security Support (MSS) officers currently deployed in the Caribbean nation. "The 20 additional armoured personnel carriers in Port-au-Prince are for bolstering the 1,000 MSS personnel in the country to improve security for the people of Haiti and the region," the US government announced.
