Donald Trump to host Latin American summit in Miami on March 7

U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to host a summit of Latin American heads of state in Miami, Florida, on Saturday, March 7. A White House official informed Agence France-Presse that invitations have been extended to the presidents of Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Honduras. Among the expected participants are Javier Milei of Argentina and Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, who are considered close allies of the U.S. President. According to Argentine media reports, the primary focus of the meeting will be reducing Chinese influence across the continent. This diplomatic event follows a U.S. military operation in Venezuela on January 3 that reportedly resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. While a White House source shared these details, no formal announcement has been released, and it remains unclear if other regional leaders will be invited. Relations with the left-leaning leaders of Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico remain complex in comparison to the invited guests. Trump has recently referred to a "Donroe Doctrine," a play on the 1823 Monroe Doctrine, signaling a shift in his approach to regional foreign policy.
