Joe Biden has spent significant time rebuilding relationships with foreign governments that felt burned by Donald Trump, and that’s paid off as allies have stepped up in places like war-torn Ukraine. But friends are hard to find on Haiti.

Biden administration officials are asking other countries to step up. So far, they’ve been met with questions and polite deflections, according to more than half a dozen current and former U.S. and foreign officials, congressional aides and analysts who described elements of the conversations to POLITICO.just yet is Canada, one of America’s closest allies.

The crisis illustrates the limits to the Biden administration’s highly touted “allies and partners” strategy to deal with global crises. Even some of America’s best friends hesitate to come to its side when they see no endgame, especially in a place such as Haiti, a highly dangerous environment where past armed foreign intervention has failed to achieve lasting stability.

Biden aides insist it’s way too soon to write off the effort to mobilize allies. They note that the countries being approached aren’t saying no — they just have serious qualms about putting their security forces’ lives at risk and they want details before publicly committing to anything, especially leading an intervention force.

Silliness. Ukraine wasn’t about USA, it was about Ukraine and Russia.

US Handspicks its favorite criminals, then say to reinforce Haiti govt capacity they can ONLY work with their SAME handpicked criminals. Yet parliamentary candidates say they must often hire US lobbyists to lobby USDOS USEmbassyHaiti to get selected for parliament or executive.

Y’all are white parasites

I used to like and respect this paper. But I’m not interested in reading tabloids

Haitians have been protesting AGAINST a U.S. occupation for months now! But the media won’t show you that!

On 11/2/1919 US troops murdered resistance leader Charlemagne Péralte. Péralte’s killers distributed photographs of his body to discourage other rebels. Instead it became a crucifix-like icon of resistance. They then sent others to exile and hired Duvalier to finish the rest.

Haiti’s biggest fault and mistake according to white imperialist greedy welfare parasites in Europe Canada and the US. EmmanuelMacron USDOS JustinTrudeau SecBlinken melaniejoly USEmbassyHaiti GermanyDiplo CanadaPE

The Haitians only fault:

To the racists colonialists really need to read! Ask yourselves WHY the Haitian sellouts and traitors are embraced by y’all white folks?

The racists colonialists may want read up a bit on their subjects before they write!

may want read up a bit on their subjects before they write!

Did you know that time and time again the USGOV has either murdered or exiled ANY and ALL Haitian leaders who put Haitians interests? And this strategy continues in partnership with the US lead ILLEGAL core group which includes racist Canada, Germany, France, etc.

Did you know US FORCED REDUCED Haiti IMPORT tariffs from the 50% it was up to the Duvalier regime to the 15% to 0% it STILL CONTINUES to be today? Which has DESTROYED Haiti agriculture & economy: ex: rice, poultry &sugar=US$1billion/yr imports

You mean, Biden is allowing them to take advantage of America again.

Did you know to fast track Haiti’s economic destruction Clinton admin imposed an embargo on haitian farmers prohibiting the import of fertilizer to Haiti? Did you know that rice farmers were practically the only primary buyers and users of fertilizer?

WHY are nearly ALL US handpicked and US selected leaders are ALL criminals? Because the US only selects criminals to pass off as Haitian leaders.

US greed, thievery and exploitation! And let’s not forget the fake aid which takes more from Haiti (and Africa)than it ever puts in!

What he said goes for Haiti to!

Y’all

Haiti even financed this!

Did you know USDOS has job fairs for electoral candidates in the most remote areas to handpick/select parliamentarians and the executive? Did you know Haitian parliamentarians cannot be selected to office unless selected by USDOS and must often borrow money to lobby USDOS ?

ALL US HANDPICKED CRIMINALS IMPOSED ON THE HAITIAN People to extort kidnap rape murder and terrorize the haitian people!

For 2 to 3 years Haitians have been complaining UN BINUH_UN USDOS SecBlinken have been distributing war weapons to disadvantaged kids in poor neighborhoods. I didn’t believe it. Until this Vietnam era US military use ONLY was found on a 15 year old after shootout with police.

These war weapons and munitions are NOT MADE in Haiti! They are MADE in the USA

STOP YOUR HYPOCRISY!

Did you know that besides stealing Haiti natural resources and forcing Haiti into debt, the U.S. continues to prey on Haiti today under the pretense of aid. And did you know that haiti only gets 1.4% of your fake US aid.

Did you know USgov either exiled, murdered/genocided and IMPOVERISHED the Haitian elite middle and upper classes who were descendants of the Haitian revolutionary war against the French to replace them with white Christian Arabs BECAUSE they wouldn’t hand Haiti over to them?

Did you know that to fast track the Haitian economy’s destruction, USgov Clinton admin imposed an embargo on haitian farmers prohibiting the import of fertilizer to Haiti? Did you know that rice farmers were practically the only primary buyers and users of fertilizer?

DID YOU KNOW that the USgov FORCED CHANGED Haiti’s constitution by FORCING the reduction on import tariffs in order to dump US products on the Haitian market in order to destroy and annihilate Haitian agriculture and subsequently the Haitian economy economy.

So this YOUR brilliant writer know that YOUR government FORCED changed the haitian constitution 3 times. And just as recently as less than 2 years ago sought to force ANOTHER US mandated constitutional change to better steal and control Haiti’s natural resources!?!?

Y’all don’t just encourage USgov racist colonists policies and practices, YOU ARE COMPLICIT in these ongoing USgov RACIST COLONIALIST policies and practices which have DELIBERATELY IMPOVERISHED HAITI and MEANS TO CONTINUE to exploit and steal from poor countries and POC.

But yall present it as if all the wrongdoing was because of corruptions and instability in haiti brought by Haitians themselves upon themselves!

It is amazing how these articles fail to point out the responsibility of the USgov in the situation in Haiti despite everything else that has been published recently (including NY times series of articles on independence debt).

Lol ALL of the EU COMBINED fall far short of what the US taxpayer has contributed to Ukraine. Yeah they’re really “stepping up”!

He has NONE

The world laughs at Biden

They're leery of intervening in Haiti BECAUSE Haiti's been burned more than once with 'intervention'. Canada's probably gone at length about that when Blinken visited.

German owned Politico is a joke.

Wow what other countries are sending billions of taxpayers money to Ukraine?

Biden? Diplomatic mojo? You're fucking joking? He's a diplomatic disaster on two legs.

Simple question: who is supplying high caliber guns and ammo to the gangs? Here lies the issue. Shut that pipeline and watch….

Wasting taxpayer money

Our money bought Ukrainian friendship, it didn’t come naturally.

So…Trump got us out of wars, and Biden drug us back in. (Although Biden did get us out of Afghanistan, and that only cost us 13 Marines and 10 innocent children that got droned, but hey, he’s a Dem so alls forgiven!)

You missed it. Try again with your zippity doo dah bull chit

They don’t want nobody to know how many people they are killing in Haiti

Telling countries what they want to hear and forking over billions and billions of US tax payer dollars is not diplomacy. Europeans are helping in Ukraine because a madman lives next door, not because of Biden’s leadership. No where has Biden had diplomatic success.

Send in the French.

Holy gaslighting batman!

there would be no Ukraine War if Trump was President. We know this because Trump was President for 4 years & Russia did not invade Ukraine. Once Biden took office the war door was open. Biden abandoned Americans & our military equipment in Afghanistan leaving USA weak, unprepared

That is absolutely wrong statement. Why Politico lying such badly? We don’t buy Fake news. Trump is one of the best President in the America history. Biden is the worst that had done nothing for this country. Shame on Politico.

By “building relationships” what you mean is Joe Biden is feverishly sending money to foreign countries that Trump had previously cut off.

Another BS story.

You forgot Yemen. Another country with POC that racist JoeBiden USA ignores while only focused on Ukraine.

Kremlin’s Backers Rush to Defend Russia’s Retreat From KhersonRussia’s state media are casting the retreat from Ukraine’s Kherson as necessary to regroup, while conservative hard-liners condemn the loss of the city Russia trying to save it’s troops and valuing its troops over Kherson city after they evacuated civilians I wouldn’t ever condemn or be disappointed. Ukraine’s been throwing it’s troops as cannon fodder. Ukraine has lost more in the Kherson offensive than Russia did. Fact no. it’s a one time use strategy. it’s not a good look either. better messaging is the key, not shenanigans. russia is feeling many losses. and there is more to come in regards to the hardliners, they need to be arrested, prosecuted and sent to the frontlines
