Haiti\'s President Rene Preval wants food aid to his country to stop.
Mr Preval said he will be asking US president Barack Obama to stop brining in food supplies because of the risk of damaging the economy.
The Haitian president is scheduled to meet Mr Obama tomorrow.
The US has been leading international rebuilding efforts in Port-au-Prince since the January 12 earthquake.
But Mr Preval said the aid could hurt his country\'s economy in the long term.
He said if the US continues to send aid it will be in competition with the national Haitian production and Haitian commerce.
