Biden faces uphill climb to restore US clout in Latin America

LOS ANGELES, 13 June 2022, (TON): President Joe Biden made a forceful pitch to reassert US influence in Latin America through a weeklong summit in Los Angeles but the modesty of his promises will test his efforts at a time when China is making rapid inroads.

Some two dozen leaders came together for the Summit of the Americas where Biden and the rest of the top US brass pledged to do more with them on migration, clean energy and health infrastructure and charmed guests with glitzy receptions befitting Tinseltown.

Biden said “the Americas should be the most forward-looking, most democratic, most prosperous, most peaceful, secure region in the world.”

Biden said “no matter what else is happening in the world, the Americas will always be a priority for the United States of America.”
