Summit of the Americas. Leaders from most countries from around the continent today begin a week of meetings in Los Angeles for the Summit of the Americas, after the gathering was delayed for a year due to the pandemic. President Joe Biden, as the host, is expected to address the meeting and push for migration and pandemic response plans, free trade agreements, and the climate crisis. Protesting the exclusion of some heads of state, several countries are planning to boycott the summit. An analyst comment on the symbolism and the real impact of the summit, the last-minute presence of Brazilian president Bolsonaro and the struggle to get consensus, and an activist talks about the gathering outside the summit’s halls of indigenous groups from around the continent around an agenda of migrant and human rights.
Guests: David Brooks, US Correspondent, La Jornada, Mexico City; Rossana Pérez, Representative, Centro Cultural Techantit, Los Angeles, CA.
