The government of El Salvador, a Central American country, sent more than 2,000 troops to Haiti this week. Haiti lies in the Caribbean. The New York Times describes the move as an extraordinary deployment on foreign soil.

The available text does not say what the troops are expected to do in Haiti, how long they will stay, or under what arrangement they were sent. Those questions remain open.

The article's headline asks whether Salvadoran leader Nayib Bukele could become Haiti's savior. That suggests the deployment is tied to hopes for change in Haiti, but the available text does not explain those hopes further.
