                         ordered to be printed
                                           The White House,
                                     Washington, September 2, 2025.
Hon. Mike Johnson,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: Haiti has suffered from organized gang 
violence for years, leading to the United Nations Security 
Council authorizing the Multinational Security Support (MSS) 
mission in Haiti by adopting Security Council Resolution 2699 
of October 2, 2023, and renewing the mandate for the MSS 
mission for another year in Security Council Resolution 2751 of 
September 30, 2024. Although international efforts have been 
made to resolve the instability in Haiti, there remain 
heightened security concerns for the United States Embassy, its 
supporting facilities in Port-au-Prince, and United States 
Government personnel.
    To strengthen security for United States facilities and 
United States Government personnel in Haiti, a security force 
of United States Marines deployed to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on 
September 1, 2025. Although these Marines are equipped for 
combat, their deployment was undertaken consistent with recent 
past practice as a precautionary measure solely for the purpose 
of protecting United States diplomatic facilities and United 
States Embassy personnel. They are not part of the MSS mission. 
These Marines are anticipated to remain in Haiti for as long as 
the security environment requires.
    I directed this action consistent with my responsibility to 
protect United States diplomatic missions abroad and in 
furtherance of United States national security and foreign 
policy interests, pursuant to my constitutional authority as 
Commander in Chief and Chief Executive and to conduct United 
States foreign relations.
    I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep 
the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers 
Resolution (Public Law 93-148). I appreciate the support of the 
Congress in this action.
            Sincerely,
                                                   Donald J. Trump.

                                  [all]
