“The ongoing definition of who and who will not sit at the summit table has left President Lopez Obrador in a quandary, into which he entered because of the lightness of his statement, and the ingenuity and impotence of those who got him into it..

Lopez Obrador’s initial position is shrinking before US diplomacy. Bolsonaro is the most important record reached, as Brazil is the main power in Latin America. Argentina’s president, Alberto Fernandez, a staunch ally of Lopez Obrador, has distanced himself and, even with some reservations, will travel to Los Angeles. The President of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, who initially joined Lopez Obrador, is no longer sure of following him and is reconsidering participation in the summit”.

The journalist recommended the President of the Republic Attend the meeting and stop throwing “tantrums”. Because the leaders of Latin America left him alone.

“López Obrador has been left alone. His public pressure on Biden has failed and he has to cut his losses by participating in the summit, justifying his presence in Los Angeles by rejecting Díaz-Canel and Ortega. His absolute position led him into a dilemma. Now is the time to move away from the tantrum and act pragmatic.”is over.
