US greenlights El Salvador's troop surge into Haiti

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe United States has approved El Salvador's plan to send more troops into Haiti, and Axios reports President Bukele phoned Donald Trump on Tuesday to make sure Washington would not object.

2. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorEl Salvador already serves in the UN-established Gang Suppression Force in Port-au-Prince. Axios sources say this force could eventually double or triple in size.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHaiti's electoral council postponed presidential elections until next year because of gang violence, on the same day as the announcement.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo it's approved. Does America send anything, then?

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNot drones and not transport aircraft. Bukele asked for both, and the requests were officially denied.

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSecretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly preferred to keep Washington at a distance.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorGood. Then it costs nothing.

8. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA Substack post quotes an Axios source saying of the deal, "It's almost just us footing the bill for this operation."

9. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBukele wrote on X, "We came to Haiti to fight against the wicked."

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorDistance, no aircraft, and the invoice still arrives. That's the one thing that always gets there.

11. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorApproval without equipment, and a bill without a signature. Washington has found a way to be absent and invoiced at once.

12. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI'd say hot. Rated on distance alone, it's the most expensive way to stay out of something.

13. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHot. Washington approved the operation from a distance, and the distance is the one thing it hasn't been billed for yet.
