Trump became the first American president to miss the Summit of the Americas?

The Eighth Summit of the Americas will be held in Lima, Peru, from April 6 to 6, 2003. Us president trump, who had previously indicated that he would attend this summit, was finally absent and became the first us president not to attend the summit of the Americas.

White House spokesman Sanders said on Tuesday that Trump decided to let Vice President Burns attend the summit instead of himself, and he was in Washington to "monitor the US response to Syria and monitor developments around the world."

On April 7, the city of Duma in Dongguta area controlled by the Syrian opposition was attacked by suspected poison gas. Countries such as the United States and Europe accuse the Syrian government of using chemical weapons to attack innocent civilians again, while Syria claims that the West and the opposition are spreading rumors.

The report said that after the suspected chemical attack in Syria, the newly appointed White House national security adviser Bolton suggested that Trump stay in Washington.

It is reported that the Summit of the Americas was first initiated by the United States, with the aim of establishing a free trade area from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, covering the whole America.

The theme of this summit is "democratic governance and anti-corruption". * * * from more than 30 American countries will attend the meeting.
