LOS ANGELES, June 8 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden kicks off a summit on Wednesday that was conceived as a platform to showcase U.S. leadership in reviving Latin American economies and tackling migratory pressures, but has instead been undermined by discord over the guest list.
It has framed the summit as an opportunity for the United States to reaffirm its commitment to Latin America after years of comparative neglect under Biden's Republican predecessor Donald Trump.
But tensions have repeatedly dogged the preparations.
The leaders of Guatemala and Honduras, two of the countries that send most migrants to the United States, also said they would not go, undermining efforts by Biden officials to craft a "declaration" on joint plans to address the phenomenon.
Biden, in what is being billed as a policy speech to open the summit, will preview the migration declaration to be announced on Friday. Officials say it will include specific commitments from leaders to help address the challenge.
Detentions of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border have hit record levels this year, and on Monday another caravan of people numbering thousands set off north from southern Mexico.

Another screw up.
I don’t blame anyone not wanting to be in the same room as BiDung. They are most likely worried about the pungent aroma that will be emanating from his freshly loaded diaper not to mention the crap coming out of his mouth.
That's odd, I heard them say this will focus on Climate Change.
Is Biden trying to trash Trump’s USMCA trade agreement and reinstate NAFTA?

You can’t make this sh!t up.
Biden presides over the worst economic retraction in history and wants to...what?
Tell Latin Americans that the US is what they should aspire to?
Someone tell Xao Bai Din that people in Latin American countries drive cars and have babies, too.
Biden’s idea? All those Guatemalans need to buy an electric car.
Yeah, right. FU Reuters.
For a second I thought this was about Biden’s dam dog, Bitey.
Dog probably told Fido to sit.

Bai Din has done a lot to help the latin american drug cartels grow their profits.
his immigration policies have done wonders for the coyotes & NGOs
Being Bidens dog is the worst dog job in America.
Bidens revival of an economy looks more like strangulation. He will be glad to do the same for Latin American countries.
Detentions of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border have hit record levels this year, and on Monday another caravan of people numbering thousands set off north from southern Mexico.
Another big fat lie from Rooters. If we were detaining people, there wouldn’t be another giant caravan.
