February 7, 2026. Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé is the new strongman of Haiti with the end of the CPT’s mandate. He enjoys the support of the Americans. This support proved decisive in keeping him at the Prime Minister’s Office, despite a resolution—never published in Le Moniteur—by a majority of presidential advisers. Dispensing with the corset of diplomatic language customs, Washington has openly taken sides in favor of its brand-new protégé.

“As the mandate of the Transitional Presidential Council comes to an end on February 7, we support the leadership of Prime Minister Fils-Aimé in building a strong, prosperous, and free Haiti,” the U.S. Embassy posted on its Facebook account on February 4, 2026. The post serves as a caption to photos of warships in the bay of Port-au-Prince, deployed as part of Operation Southern Spear against drug traffickers and gangs, described by Washington as international terrorist organizations.
