US 'New Beginning' Admin seeks 'new day' in Latin America
Biden's trip to meet regional leaders came as decades-long US influence is waning, as it has focused elsewhere in recent years, while Latin American countries have grown stronger and expanded relations with others, including China, Russia and India.
"As we confront the most serious economic crisis in generations ... we must work together, as partners, to give our citizens hope that brighter days lie ahead," Biden wrote in an op-ed published in 11 Latin American newspapers as he began a trip to Chile and Costa Rica.
The US vice president was due to meet bilaterally with the leaders of Uruguay, Argentina and Chile, as well as Britain, during a Progressive Governance conference in Vina del Mar on Chile's coast, before consulting with Central American presidents in Costa Rica at a gathering hosted by President Oscar Arias.
"These meetings are an important first step toward a new day in relations and building partnerships," wrote Biden.
