The Summit of the Americas: What a Joke!

• Jacob Hornberger - FFF

The brouhaha over which countries would be allowed to attend involved Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Biden decided that he didn't want those three countries to attend the meeting, which is being held in Los Angeles. I guess he figured that they might threaten to turn the United States more Red, given their Cold War communist proclivities.

But not inviting those three countries to participate in a summit on Latin America met with disapproval by countries who were invited and who were expected to attend. For example, the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, decided to boycott the summit, which obviously left a big hole in a conference whose principal focus is on Latin America.

According to Politico, the White House planned to advocate a "new and ambitious economic agenda" at the summit. According to an article in the New York Times, Biden opened the 3-day summit "by promising leaders from Latin America that the United States was committed to helping the region combat crime, corruption and its economic struggles."
