Shield of the Americas Summit to showcase Trump's push to reshape the hemisphere

"After years of neglect, President Trump established the 'Donroe Doctrine' to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere. The President has successfully strengthened our relationships in our own backyard to make the entire region safer and more stable, and the summit will Make America, and our partners, Strong Again."

"The summit comes as the president devotes much of his second term reshaping global trade while strong-arming southern leaders to commit more resources to stopping illegal immigration."

"A White House spokesperson told Axios that Noem had helped secure the border, deported hundreds of thousands of undocumented people and executed record-setting counter-drug operations against cartels, making her an ideal pick for the special envoy job."

President Trump is convening a summit in Doral, Florida with key cabinet members including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. The gathering includes heads of state from 12 Western Hemisphere nations to strengthen regional relationships and advance Trump's policy agenda. Kristi Noem, recently reassigned as Special Envoy to the Shield of the Americas, will also attend. The White House framed the summit around the 'Donroe Doctrine,' emphasizing restored American leadership in the region. The administration is leveraging the summit to reshape global trade relationships and pressure southern leaders to increase resources for combating illegal immigration.
