Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador confirmed Monday that he won't attend the Summit of the Americas hosted by President Biden in Los Angeles this week because not all countries in the Americas are invited.
López Obrador had previously threatened to skip the summit if the Biden administration didn't invite countries like Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. Those countries did not receive invitations over human rights concerns and their "lack of democratic space," a senior U.S. official said Monday.
The official said the U.S., as the host of this year's summit, has "wide discretion on invitations, but deeply values and respects the diversity of views of our regional neighbors." Non-governmental representatives from Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua are still registered to participate in stakeholder forums, according to the official.

Hmmm. Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua... given the current admin’s sympathies, you’d think those countries would be first on the list.
Just say No to commies... Even Mexican ones.
Gee. It’s almost as if he smells weakness in the current US regime.
Another screwup...
The best thing the US can do for itself when it comes to Latin America is that the gringo should go home and stay home. Let them revert to socialism again as they are wont to do and do not bail out their currencies this time. But build a massive 50 foot wall here before we go home
Slo Commie Joe shouldn’t have invited himself
They are. All window dressing.
We are going to be North Mexico in a very short time.
The Amnesty Senators just need us to re-elect Hoeven and Rubio.
AMLO respected Trump. He knows Plugs the Pedo is a joke.
And deport the 30+ million already here.
Weird! Given that Brandon recently approached Venezuela for more oil (which they couldn’t deliver given its promised to China for their Financial assistance).
They’re good enough for commodities but not for a summit? Thomas Friedman was wrong about Joes Foreign Policy Bona fides. Brain dead Biden is toast.
He should be inviting them all. Another Biden/Harris fail.
Cartels who really run Mexico could fill in for the President?
I kinda figured he wasn’t going because his Uber account got suspended.
Joe doesn't want us to notice there isn't much difference between his policies and Cuba's, Venezueala's, and Nicaragua's.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Anytime, anyplace that Biden has a meeting or summit with leaders of foreign governments, it’s a photo op, and nothing else, because, NOTHING will get done and the liberal media will automatically take the summit/meeting to mean that Biden is leading and getting things done.
Biden is not respected any place by anybody around the world, so, his bosses have to trot him out for the pretentious gatherings. It’s more like vomit-inducing summits, with Biden looking around waiting for his managers to tell him what to do and what to say and to whom.
The nitwits who run the administration are all ideology, without discernible administrative or leadership skills to back it up
