As 1 prepare to retum to Washington, 1 recall that I said upon my arriva) in February 2018 that, "Haïti and the United States share a strong commitment to freedom, democracy, and the rule of law ... The United States has a tremendous amount of respect for the Haitian people, and we are proud of our partnership. Haiti and the United States share a long history of close relations, and our futures are closely linked." 1 believe strongly that these words ring true today."
