Embassies in Haiti, Niger, Sudan, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Belarus all evacuated since 2021.
Joe Biden has been forced to evacuate a total 6 U.S. embassies since taking the White House in 2021, highlighting his historically disastrous foreign policy.
The U.S. embassy in Haiti was the latest to be evacuated under Biden after cannibalistic gangs launched an open rebellion against government institutions over the weekend.
“At the request of the Department of State, the U.S. military conducted an operation to augment the security of the U.S. Embassy at Port-au-Prince, allow our Embassy mission operations to continue, and enable nonessential personnel to depart,” the U.S. Southern Command said in its statement.
Biden has been forced to evacuate 6 US embassies or consulates since taking office:
Kabul, Afghanistan – August 2021
Kyiv, Ukraine – February 2022
Minsk, Belarus – August 2021
Khartoum, Sudan – April 2023
Port-au-Prince, Haiti – July 2023
Niamey, Niger – January 2024…— @amuse (@amuse) March 11, 2024
Biden had evacuated non-emergency personnel from the U.S. embassy in Haiti once before in 2023 after armed gangs took over 90% of the Haitian capital since President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated in 2021.
But 5 other U.S. embassies had also been evacuated under Biden’s watch.
Niger
The State Department ordered the evacuation of the U.S. embassy in Niamey, Niger after a military junta seized power in the west African nation in August 2023.
“Given ongoing developments in Niger and out of an abundance of caution, the Department of State is ordering the temporary departure of non-emergency US government personnel and eligible family members from the US embassy in Niamey,” state department spokesman Matthew Miller said.
Sudan
Biden also ordered the evacuation of American personnel at the U.S. embassy in Khartoum, Sudan, last April following an escalating conflict between the country’s army, led by de-facto leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces.
Today, on my orders, the United States military conducted an operation to extract U.S. Government personnel from Khartoum in response to the situation in Sudan.
I am grateful for the commitment of our Embassy staff and the skill of our service members who brought them to safety.

Ukraine
Biden ordered the evacuation of most staff from the U.S. embassy in Kyiv ahead of Russia’s imminent invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The State Department said in a travel advisory that it had “ordered the departure of most U.S. direct hire employees from Embassy Kyiv due to the continued threat of Russian military action.”
Belarus
As Russia continued prosecuting its “special military operation” in Ukraine, Biden’s regime shut down the U.S. embassy in Minsk, Belarus, and evacuated U.S. personnel in Feb. 2022.
“We took these steps due to security and safety issues stemming from the unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces in Ukraine,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
Afghanistan
Perhaps the most politically disastrous and chaotic evacuation of Biden’s tenure was at the U.S. embassy in Kabul in August 2021 that resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members.
Footage of the humiliating evacuation invoked striking similarities with America’s 1975 retreat from Vietnam’s Saigon, prompting Blinken to push back.

“Remember, this is not Saigon. We went to Afghanistan 20 years ago with one mission and that mission was to deal with the folks who attacked us on 9/11. And we have succeeded in that mission,” Blinken told CNN.

Biden’s main political rival and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump oversaw just one partial evacuation during his presidency; the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, Iraq in 2019 amid threats of Iran-backed militia attacks.
Given Biden’s historic foreign policy failures, it’s reasonable to conclude that more U.S. embassies could be evacuated before Biden leaves office.
