President Trump is hosting the "Shield of the Americas" summit with Latin American leaders at his Miami-area golf club on Saturday. The summit aims to demonstrate the U.S. commitment to its foreign policy focus on the Western Hemisphere. This occurs amidst other international crises, including a recent U.S. military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and the launch of a war on Iran. Trump's time at the summit will be limited, as he is also scheduled to travel to Dover Air Force Base for the transfer of U.S. troops killed in a drone strike related to the conflict with Iran. Despite these pressing global issues, Trump intends to use the summit to refocus attention on U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere.
