"President Biden at
Summit of the Americas"
by President Joe Biden
The bottom line is this: The Western Hemisphere is home for all of us. Back in 2013, when I was Vice President to Barack Obama, he asked me to lead our engagement with the region. And I said we should be talking about the hemisphere and I made a speech back then, saying the hemisphere — we should look at it as a "middle-class, secure, democratic" hemisphere - from Chile - "from Canada to Chile and everywhere in between."
Over the past decade, our region has changed. The challenges we faced have changed. And so, our policies and our solutions have to change as well.
But I want to be very clear: My fundamental view anc ny approach to the hemisphere has not changed. I still believe what I said then, and I hope that you do too. There is no reason why the Western Hemisphere can't be the most forward-looking, most democratic, most prosperous, most peaceful, secure region in the world. We have unlimited potential. We have enormous resources and a democratic spirit that stands for freedom and opportunity for everybody.
And no matter what else is happening in the world, the Americas will always be a priority for the United States of America.
So, thank you again for being part of this summit. We lave a busy few days and incredible opportunities ahead of us. So, let's get to work.
And I'm now supposed to hush up and sit down, and we're going to have a conversation. Is that right?
