Thirty-three Latin American and Caribbean heads of state are meeting in the Dominican Republic for five days to discuss a wide range of topics — on top of the list is United States President Donald Trump.
The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), a bloc dedicated to promoting regional cooperation and combating U.S. hegemony, launched its fifth summit on Saturday. Its leaders kicked-off the summit discussing the implications of Trump’s presidency.
Dominican Foreign Minister Miguel Vargas told his counterparts that the countries of the region “must support each other,” but should not “rush” to judge the administration of the new U.S. president.
“President Trump should be given space to start on a position that is favorable to Latin America,” Vargas told EFE. He added that Trump’s presidency “is a theme that must be analyzed in its context to each country” and that regional leaders should “wait a bit to see how his administration develops.”
