Nov. 3, 2026 — Wilson Joseph, a Haitian gang leader wanted by the United States, sent a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres asking for talks, and El Salvador has sent more than 2,000 troops to search for four Salvadoran soldiers missing since an ambush near Port-au-Prince on Oct. 18, UN News reported. The UN said receiving the letter "does not constitute an endorsement of its contents." Joseph says the four are dead; Haitian authorities consider them missing, and El Salvador believes they are alive.
