[rrrr]

seven dollars diesel price let them see the homeless people middle of the street and our dirty streets !!!

[felixkazteyanoz]

Summit of the submissive American nations.

[superiorcanaduh]

A lot of countries may not show up. Pretty pointless summit.

[t.a.]

Wonder if LA plans to "clean up" now that guest are coming?

[Achcautli]

What kind of American summit can be, if not all American Presidents are going. This has been a big blow in the leadership of U.S. in the region. Definitively, U.S. power is declining in the continent and the world.

[sophinal]

BIDDEN does not know where he is at half of the time.

[realcapers]

Latin American Country leaders can see how well developed L.A. is with all the homelessness.

[BrittonWhite_]

Why only 3 representatives? if I'm not mistaken there are more than 3 countries in the Americas. If it was so important shouldn't there be more representatives?

[stevenwinterhill]

Hopefully he doesn't fall off the stairs upon landing...smh

[GeorgeKafantaris]

We have a responsibility to mind Central America and all the Americas. Despite our affinity for the Europeans, we are not Europeans. We are Americans. And that means taking care of our own.

[thiagodasilvasantos]

The United States loses many countries that could be great allies, but as they are treated with arrogance and contempt, it is a country that points out more problems than solutions for our continent, countries like China occupy this vacuum. Most of Latin America is not even an ally of China, but it is already our main trading partner and it will only increase. Here in Brazil, we have the perception that the priority for the United States is not the continent itself, but the Europeans, Russia and China, and that is why American leadership is declining in the region

[mrtee]

Biden talk a lot about electric car, does he even own one?

[eddyguerra]

U. S. Is hosting the event this year, they should provide tables meals and beverage but they have no right neither moral authority to choose who's attending.

[reubenherrera]

President Biden Los Angeles welcomes you!

[cfwin]

But all the leaders who matter are not coming.

[droolalot]

Get the gas and housing prices and student loans issues corrected.

This guy is out of touch.

[kevinmyrick]

What a complete joke !! And yes the meeting also…

[romma]

Summit of Kings making everything wrong and to worse. Those who skipped show that have some integrity.

[moneytalkj]

Something bad is going to happen there tonight

[davu]

The truth of the matter is that politicians in the West and the US including Australia (Australia which is psychologically totally confused and suffering from an identity crisis as it thinks it is "west" when the reality is that it is geographically part of Asia!!!), are still stuck in their mental capacity and attitude in the glory days of "empire" 5-6 centuries ago.

They may have learned to wear Gucci suits nowadays but nothing else seem to have evolved in their psyche and consciousness from their barbarian days. Instead of recognising their sordid past and history, they celebrate their delusions like "Thanksgiving Day" which the Native American Indians rightly and clearly remember and commemorate as their "Day of Mourning" being the beginning of the murdering, genociding, plundering, stealing, raping and ultimately, OCCUPATION, of their land uninvited, without any due compensation even till today.
But these thieves and robbers take a lot of pride in the stories they tell themselves and sell to the world how great their "founding" was!!! Same stories with the "Empire" where the sun never sets. Australia with the Aborigines. New Zealand with their Maoris. The African continent with all those goes on and on. This is the 21st Century, for chrissakes! Grow up and come out of that sick and primitive mentality of never ending desire to dominate, control and subjugate.
The zillions of dollars spent on wars and "defence" and the other zillions being hoarded by the 1% is more than sufficient to provide every human being on the planet a very decent and never anything wanting life on this planet with the healthiest and cleanest environment. And we pride ourselves as being the only creature on earth with the intelligence, consciousness and capacity of free will and choice. And these sick politicians choose never ending squabbles, tensions and wars!!! Go figure.
