Evidence from credible sources supports the statement as accurate. Learn more in Methodology.
The Department of State publicly states continued U.S. support for establishing a Gang Suppression Force to operate with Haitian security forces against gangs and U.S.-designated FTOs.
An official January 1, 2026 U.S. Department of State press statement on Haiti’s National Day explicitly says: “We continue to support the establishment of a Gang Suppression Force that can work with Haitian security forces to end the reign of terror by gangs and U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations.” This matches the claim that the United States states it continues to support establishing a Gang Suppression Force to work with Haitian security forces against gangs and U.S.-designated FTOs. Additional reporting on the UN-authorized Gang Suppression Force in Haiti confirms that this force is intended to conduct counter‑gang operations in coordination with Haitian security forces, consistent with the U.S. description of its purpose.
The verdict is True because an official State Department document contains the quoted language almost verbatim and other credible sources describe the same Gang Suppression Force role in Haiti’s security efforts.
