![]() ![]() The other question is Russian president Vladimir Putin said that if the west needs to deliver rocket systems, Moscow will hit objects we haven’t yet struck, possibly expand the attack. And so the president continues to be a leader in the hemisphere. The US remains the most powerful force in driving hemispheric actions to address core challenges facing the people of the Americas in equality, health, climate, and food security. To your actual question, I just wanted to make sure I dealt with Mexico because we had a little announcement there. At that meeting, President Biden and President Obrador will have the opportunity to carry the work forward for the summit. ![]() President Biden and the first lady look forward to welcoming President Obrador and the first lady of Mexico to Washington in July for a bilateral visit. We look forward to hosting foreign secretary Ebrard as the Mexican representative and we welcome Mexico’s significant contribution to the major summit deliverables. The president’s principle position is that we do not believe that dictators should be invited, which is the reason that the president has decided not to attend. It is important to acknowledge that there are a range of views on this question in our hemisphere as there are in the United States. We have had candid engagement with President López Obrador as well with other regional partners for more than a month regarding the issue of invitations to the summit. Yeah, let me just speak to the president of Mexico very quickly because I have something in there for you. So given people who are not going to summit, president of Mexico, president of Honduras, so the vice president recently spoke directly to what does it say about the strength of US influence in the region of these people deciding they don’t want to go? And with that, Chris, you want to kick us off? I want to make sure that we make our rounds and so that people could have their questions answered. I want to make sure I get to people in the back so I just want folks to be mindful. And also we’re going to try and end this at 4:15. I know everyone’s excited about that, everyone’s been looking forward to that. You can expect to see deliverables in those areas announced by the president and other members of his cabinet on all three days relating to those focus areas.Īnd one final item of note, later this afternoon, hoping before our background call at 6:00, we’ll share the list of countries attending for the summit. And Friday, we’ll focus on migration in the Western hemisphere. Thursday, we’ll be responding to the climate crisis and combating food insecurity. On Wednesday, the focus will be on economic agenda for the region and promoting health systems and health security. ![]() ![]() But I wanted to give a quick preview each day of the summit so you all have it now and it will be arranged around five key areas that president Biden will focus on. So I know a lot of people have been asking about the Summit of Americas and you probably saw tonight at six o’clock there’ll be a background call with some of our experts who later today, clearly at six o’clock who will discuss the summit in detail and give you all the information that you wished for. ![]()
