Yes but, but many rumors have it that the USA already has their eyes on Cuba AND Haiti to be the next Puerto Rico.

They would not be helping if there was not a long term goal where they were going to profit off the back end. Be it the US development of Haiti or be it that we know there is oil there (or another natural resource) or maybe we just want to claim another island.
Africa is full of horrible things happening and you don't see this amount of aid pouring into Africa do you? Aid is limited and we hardly even show it on the news when genocide, drought or famine is happening there. No one cares about some of the African countries because there is NOTHING there we can profit from. Nothing to benefit from. No military advantage.
Nobody rides for free.
