For the United States, holding this event in the absence of many leaders in the region would reinforce the image that Washington no longer has the leadership role it once had.
NRA – The United States has confirmed the exclusion of Venezuela and Nicaragua from the upcoming Summit of the Americas, which will be held June 6-10 in Los Angeles, California.
Asked by a Senate committee about invitations to these countries, Summit Coordinator Kevin O’Reilly replied: “Not at all. We don’t recognize them as a sovereign government.”
As for Cuba, the official said that “to the best of his knowledge,” no invitation has been sent to the island at the moment. For his part, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel expected that he would not participate in the Summit of the Americas, even if the United States invited him: “I will not participate in any case.”
Beginning in Washington, the Ninth Summit of the Americas has been defined as the “only” event bringing together heads of state from across the continent. However, the meeting runs the risk of significant absences due to signals also received from the President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), as well as those of Bolivian Luis Ars.
AMLO said 15 days ago that he would only attend if Biden invited the governments of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, which the White House considers dictatorships.
In addition, the presidents of Argentina, Alberto Fernandez and Honduras, Xiomara Castro, and the Chilean government announced their support for the inclusion of all leaders. For the United States, holding this event in the absence of many leaders from the region would be a diplomatic fiasco and reinforce the image that Washington no longer has the leadership role it once had.
In this regard, Diaz-Canel highlighted: “We are grateful for the courageous and generous stand of countries that have raised their voices against exclusion. We share the position of the region’s leaders who have firmly stated that everyone should be invited on an equal footing.”
Regarding relations with Mexico, O’Reilly said the government is “in constant dialogue” with the neighboring country, “and we certainly talk with the government of Mexico and all governments in the region about structuring and organization,” he said. .
