President Donald Trump convenes with Latin American leaders at his Miami golf resort for the 'Shield of the Americas' summit, marking a shift in US foreign policy towards the Western Hemisphere amid global crises.
The meeting aims to reinforce US dominance in Latin America and counter Chinese influence, as Trump targets drug cartels and economic encroachments. The summit follows heightened tensions with Iran after a recent US-Israel military campaign.
The summit excludes some of the region's largest countries, like Brazil and Colombia, and faces challenges amid regional leaders balancing US and Chinese interests. Trump's push also includes deploying a 'Trump Corollary' to curb Chinese presence in Latin America.
