President William Ruto says the United States has exempted its support for the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti from a broader aid freeze.

This follows Kenya's deployment of additional troops to Haiti on Thursday. In a post on his X page, Ruto said the exemption was confirmed during a phone conversation with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
