这篇报道提到拜登总统将在白宫会见拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的领导人，讨论经济问题和移民议题，以加强与该地区的关系，以对抗中国和其他全球竞争对手。这是一项重要的外交努力，旨在巩固美国在该地区的地位，并减少中国在该地区的影响力。特别是，美国计划宣布新的发展融资，以支持承载移民的国家，以减少他们涌入美墨边境的情况，并扩大该地区的经济合作。 这一举措旨在解决近年来大量非法移民穿越美墨边境的问题，其中成千上万的人通过哥伦比亚和巴拿马之间的危险丛林地带，即所谓的达连峡，向北前进。此次峰会是去年洛杉矶的“美洲峰会”类似主题会议的延续，旨在加强该地区的经济联系，减少中国在该地区的影响。 总之，这次会议反映了美国政府在处理经济和移民问题方面的关注，以及其努力加强与拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的外交关系，以维护自身在全球竞争中的地位。
