US PRESIDENT Joe Biden was accused on Friday of damaging relations with Latin America after he excluded Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela from a key regional summit next month.
The countries — labeled the “troika of tyranny” by the Trump administration — have not been invited to the Summit of the Americas which will take place in Los Angeles from June 6-10.
Washington claims the gathering will “foster great dialogue” in order to “address hemispheric challenges and opportunities.”
