White House defends Summit of Americas amid absences

Controversy is swirling around the Summit of the Americas hosted by President Biden. The White House has been facing a barrage of questions about how much progress the president can make on migration and other issues when some of his counterparts from the region are staying home. Mexico’s president and other leaders are skipping the summit, which is excluding Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. White House officials insist the gathering will still accomplish its goals.
