President Donald Trump is set to gather with Latin American leaders at his Miami-area golf club on Saturday. The gathering comes as his administration is trying to demonstrate it remains committed to sharpening its focus on the Western Hemisphere even as it deals with five-alarm crises elsewhere. The gathering, dubbed the “Shield of the Americas” summit, comes just two months after Trump ordered a military operation to capture Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. Looming even larger is Trump’s decision to join with Israel to launch a war on Iran one week ago. The leaders of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago are set to attend.
