US EditionPresident Trump Hosts Shield of Americas Summit in Doral, Urging Latin American Leaders to Help Combat Violent Cartels
The summit emphasizes a renewed U.S. military and intelligence focus to counter Chinese influence and drug cartels, with a major anti-cartel agreement expected, officials said.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump will gather with Latin American leaders at his Miami-area golf club for the Shield of the Americas summit, signaling a refocus on Western Hemisphere policy.
- The summit grew from last year's canceled 10th Summit of the Americas after the Dominican Republic barred Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela and postponed the event amid regional tensions.
- The leaders of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago will attend, with Trump naming Kristi Noem as special envoy.
- These recent operations heighten the summit's diplomatic and energy stakes, as Trump must fly to Dover Air Force Base for the transfer of six U.S. troops killed in Kuwait, and the gathering follows the U.S. capture of Maduro and last week's U.S.-Israel military action against Iran.
- The summit positions the U.S. to counter Chinese influence, with Trump framing the 'Trump Corollary'; Gallagher said, `The U.S. is offering the region tariffs, deportations and militarization whereas China is offering trade and investment`.
