UNITED NATIONS — U.S. officials say a new accord with the United Nations formally gives the American military a supporting role in international relief efforts in Haiti but keeps it in charge of the Caribbean nation’s airspace, ports and roads.
U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said the two-page agreement signed Friday in Haiti “formalizes the working relationship” and ensures continuing cooperation.
U.S. troops will remain under their own command, but American authorities are to set up a task force to support international humanitarian efforts.
