WASHINGTON — The Biden administration plans to exclude Cuba from the upcoming Summit of the Americas, a major global meeting to be held in Los Angeles in June that typically welcomes all governments in the Western Hemisphere, a senior U.S. official told The Times.
The summit, which is held every three or four years, is being convened in the United States for the first time since its 1994 inaugural session in Miami. Los Angeles was chosen as the venue earlier this year.
The administration's refusal to invite Cuba is likely to anger several other Latin American countries as President Joe Biden and the State Department attempt to repair damaged relations in the region.
