Trump’s victory in U.S presidency, Kenya’s peacekeeping mission in Haiti will face some significant uncertainties. Trump foreign policies style has often prioritised direct U.S interest, with attendance to reduce funding for foreign aid and international Missions unless unless they direct benefits U.S. Under Biden, the U.S supported kenya leadership in UN backed mission to counter gang violence in haiti, pledging funding and logistical support. Trump however, may reassess or cut such assistance if he views the mission as peripheral to America’s security or economic interests.

This will mean a reduction in U.S financial backing for mission or expectations for kenya and other participating countries to shoulder more of the mission cost. Kenya and Haiti recently called for international support to sustain the mission, noting it’s budget constraints through early 2025. Without consistent U.S support, kenya might struggle to fully implement it’s planned deployment of 1000 police officers needed to stabilise conditions in Haiti.
