The U.S. State Department has named Ambassador Henry Wooster as the new Chargé d’Affaires at the United States Embassy in Haiti, effective June 12.
The announcement was made in a statement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio on May 30.
Ambassador Wooster, a seasoned diplomat with more than three decades of service, will now lead a whole-of-government approach to U.S. policy in Haiti. His new role involves working closely with international partners to bolster support for Haitian security forces and guide strategic U.S. engagement in the Caribbean nation.
The move comes at a pivotal moment for U.S.-Haiti relations, as Washington continues to work with regional and global stakeholders to address Haiti’s security, governance, and humanitarian challenges.
