US President Joe Biden

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.”
