President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will travel to Los Angeles on June 8 to host the ninth Summit of the Americas, a high-profile regional gathering that takes place every three to four years.
The Biden administration has spent the past few weeks working to mollify Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and other Latin American leaders over its decision to exclude Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela from the week-long conference. All three countries have authoritarian governments that Washington considers to be in violation of the democratic spirit that the hemispheric conference is supposed to promote.
He told reporters at his daily press briefing he was still awaiting a response from the U.S. to meet his request to invite all countries in the Western Hemisphere. Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro, a major ally of former President Trump and leader of the largest country in Latin America, said Thursday he would attend the summit and meet Biden on the sidelines after initially threatening to pass on the event.
