The US Department of State released a statement on Friday confirming the formation of a Transitional Presidential Council in Haiti.

"The result of months of discussion among diverse Haitian stakeholders, this Council helps pave the way for free and fair elections and the expedited deployment of a Multinational Security Support mission. We applaud Haitians for their commitment to move forward in a spirit of reconciliation and national dialogue," the statement noted.

This comes after Le Nouvelliste newspaper reported that decrees forming a Transitional Presidential Council in Haiti - responsible for appointing a new prime minister, cabinet and members of this council -  were published in the official newspaper Le Montieur.

The US has been trying to gain a foot in the internal affairs of Haiti, as last month and going against previous vows of no boots on the ground in Haiti, the US Southern Command acknowledged that troops may be stationed in the Caribbean nation.

She also stated that the US Southern Command was "prepared" if called upon by the State Department or Pentagon.

Additionally, the United States revealed intentions to deploy several naval vessels to Haiti, claiming that this measure is in response to a potential event of mass migration caused by the worsening security situation in the country.

Amid Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry's visit to Kenya on February 29 to negotiate the deployment of foreign forces to combat organized crime in Haiti, gang violence broke out in downtown Port-au-Prince and two weeks later, Henry resigned.
