Could Colonel Rudy Moise Be the Next U.S. Ambassador to Haiti?
As Haiti grapples with some of the darkest days in its modern history — marked by unchecked violence, a crumbling political system, and a humanitarian crisis — one name has quietly emerged as the ideal candidate to help steer the nation toward stability and hope: Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Rudy Moise.
The question now is not whether Colonel Moise is qualified. It’s whether the United States will seize this historic opportunity to appoint a leader who can inspire, heal, and rebuild.
A Moise ambassadorship would be more than a diplomatic appointment; it would be a powerful symbol of renewal for Haitians at home and abroad. Born in Haiti, Colonel Moise has built a lifetime of service to the United States as a military officer, physician, attorney, businessman, and humanitarian. His unique ability to bridge the cultures, histories, and hopes of both nations makes him a singularly transformative figure for this critical moment.
His appointment would send a clear, uplifting message to Haitians worldwide: your story, your resilience, and your future matter.
For too long, Haiti has been trapped in a cycle of political corruption, gang violence, and leadership failure. The appointment of Colonel Moise would inspire confidence in a different future — one where qualified, compassionate, and culturally rooted leadership takes the reins. It would invite the Haitian diaspora — a powerful, educated, and resourceful global community — to come home and be part of rebuilding their mother island.
Moise’s ambassadorship could foster transformative growth, forging stronger U.S.-Haiti relations and creating new opportunities for economic development, public safety reforms, and regional stability. His reputation for humanitarian work, military leadership, and business acumen would be assets not only in the corridors of Washington but in the streets of Port-au-Prince.
Haiti deserves a leader who understands the language of diplomacy, the urgency of security, and the heartbeat of its people. Colonel Rudy Moise is that leader.
As the Trump Administration weighs its next move, it should recognize the gravity of this moment — and the rare opportunity to name an ambassador who can help cement a safe, sovereign, and prosperous Caribbean nation.
Could Colonel Rudy Moise be the next U.S. Ambassador to Haiti? He absolutely should be.
The time for bold, restorative leadership is now.
