    Default Summit of the Americas

    The Summit of the Americas will be held in Los Angeles from June. 6-10. This is the second time the United States will host and the last time was in Miami in 1994. It'll start the day after the Bilderberg Group meeting from June. 2-5 June in Washington DC.

    Washington Post
    Quote The ninth Summit of the Americas will be held in Los Angeles from June 6-10. The summit brings together the heads of government for North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean: Canada, the United States, 19 Latin American countries and 14 Caribbean countries. This is the second time the United States will host the summit, after organizing the original meeting in Miami in 1994; since then, the summit has been held in countries throughout the Americas. This year’s agenda is ambitious; parallel to the presidents’ meetings, business leaders and civil society organizations will hold talks as well.

    There have been diplomatic controversies over which leaders will and will not attend the summit. As of this writing, most of the invited heads of government have confirmed their attendance, but some are still pending. While the news media are watching the heads of government, what do ordinary Latin Americans think about the United States and other powers vying for world leadership?

    The president of Mexico won't to attending the summit.
    CNN
    Quote (CNN)Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Monday he won't be attending the Summit of the Americas, hosted later on this week by the United States, due to the exclusion of several countries in the region.

    Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela were not invited to the summit because of the "lack of democratic space and the human rights situations" in the countries, a senior Biden administration official said in a statement to CNN on Monday. López Obrador had previously threatened to boycott the summit, which is traditionally attended by leaders from North, Central and South America and the Caribbean and is convened every few years.
    "I am not going to the summit because not all American countries are invited and I believe the need to change the policy that has been in place for centuries: The exclusion, the desire to dominate without any reason, the disrespect of countries' sovereignty (and) the independence of each country," López Obrador said at a news conference in Mexico City. He said the country's foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard, will attend instead.
    The move is a significant snub to President Joe Biden and his administration and threatens to undermine the gathering. The Biden administration has not yet provided an official list of invitations as it scrambled to address boycott threats from a group of countries led by Mexico over the exclusion of several countries.
