VP Harris is expected to announce $3.2 billion in corporate pledges to help tackle the “root causes” of migration from Central America, according to her office.
After an uproar over its exclusion of guests to the Summit of the Americas, the Biden administration is promoting plans to address economic, health and food security issues in Latin America to stem migration to the U.S.
President Joe Biden will announce later this week an economic partnership for the Western hemisphere called Americas Partnership for Economic Prosperity. It’s focused on economic recovery by building on existing trade agreements, according to U.S. administration officials. Biden is under domestic pressure to keep a hard-line policy toward the three countries, especially as the November midterm election nears.
His decision is no surprise. For weeks, he and other leftist leaders from the region, who are supportive of Cuba's political system, had been threatening to boycott the event if all countries were not invited. But López Obrador said he would still meet with Biden in Washington in July to discuss immigration and push for more U.S. investments in Central America.
"There is no single reason that justifies the anti-democratic and arbitrary exclusion of any country of the hemisphere from this continental meeting." Cuba said in a statement.
