Latin American leaders scold US President Biden face-to-face over his exclusion of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua from Los Angeles summit, saying 'we definitely would've wished for a different Summit of the Americas'
Biden says US is committed to helping Latin America and the Caribbean recover from Covid-19 pandemic, tackle irregular migration and improve living standards.
But he quickly faced sharp pushback over his decision to cut out Washington's three main regional antagonists, which spurred a boycott by some leaders led by Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, dealing a blow to Biden's effort to reassert US leadership. Briceno was followed by Argentina's left-leaning president, Alberto Fernandez, who declared "the silence of those who are absent is calling to us" and insisted that the host country did not have the power to impose the "right of admission" to the conference.
