The morning briefing · Everything you need to know before you start your day.

Good morning. "We kept our promise": Bukele confirms the destruction of Lanmò San Jou's house. And Fils-Aimé promises 4,000 police officers a year and $120 million for elections. There's more below. But first, today's subject.

Tensions surrounding Salvadoran troops

The US Chargé d'Affaires in Haiti, David Howell, has asked Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé to suspend military operations led by El Salvador. This request comes as Secretary of State Marco Rubio desires a rapid departure of the roughly 2,000 Salvadoran soldiers deployed in the country.

The tensions. The American diplomat justified his request by a lack of coordination with the Gang Suppression Force, mentioning losses suffered by the troops and gunfire that nearly hit United States personnel. The Salvadoran government categorically rejected these accusations and denied any blunder near the US embassy.

The operations. Despite these diplomatic frictions, an offensive on November 8 destroyed the residence of Wilson Joseph, alias Lanmò San Jou, and the headquarters of the 400 Mawozo gang in Croix-des-Bouquets. This joint attack, supported by drones and helicopters, left at least twenty dead.

The arrests. Amnesty International has demanded that the Haitian and Salvadoran governments publish the agreement framing this deployment, which escapes UN control. The organization is also calling for human rights guarantees and details on the fate of four Salvadoran soldiers missing since October 18.

The future. Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé will travel to El Salvador on November 16 and 17 to discuss the future of these forces with local authorities. The head of government praised the commitment of the Salvadoran troops and the support of President Nayib Bukele in the fight against gangs.
