During a wrap-up news conference on Thursday, Trudeau would not directly answer a question about whether Canada would participate in a multinational mission to directly intervene in the country’s crisis.
“The only lasting solutions will come through working with the Haitian people themselves, empowering the Haitian people themselves to direct and take responsibility for the future,” he told reporters.
“That’s why I called upon Prime Minister Henry today to do much more, to create political unity and consensus around international support and perhaps interventions.”
Trudeau acknowledged that along with development and humanitarian aid, it could take “security and perhaps military aid” to stabilize what he called the ongoing “cataclysmic situation.”
