The prominent Donald Trump supporter and private security executive Erik Prince says he has a 10-year deal with Haiti to fight the country's criminal gangs, and then take a role in restoring the country's tax-collection system.

The security firm of former U.S. Navy SEAL Erik Prince will soon deploy nearly 200 personnel from various countries to Haiti as part of a deal to quell gang violence there, a person with knowledge of the plans said Thursday.

Vectus Global, a security company led by Erik Prince, has a contract to battle Haiti’s gangs and restore tax collection.
