Sommet des Amériques et Obama: au-delà de la question cubaine

Caricature d'ARCADIO ESQUIVEL, LA PRENSA, PANAMA, WWW.CAGLECARTOONS.COM

 Un petit topo rapide sur le site de CNN qui présente les faiblesses de l'administration démocrate du Président Obama dans sa gestion des relations avec plusieurs pays d'Amérique centrale ou d'Amérique du sud. Bien sûr on retiendra de ce sommet la poigne de mains tant attendue entre les dirigeants Obama et Castro, mais il y a plus.

 "The reality is that the United States has been losing ground in this increasingly important region, and Obama needs to put on a strong performance in Panama at the Summit of the Americas if the U.S. is to have a chance of improving ties with neighbors who should be best friends, but who have drifted away as America has been focused on challenges at home and instability in the Middle East.

Unfortunately, America has lost influence in Latin America to a hyperactive China, a cunning Russia and a troubling Iran, all of which have made inroads in the region at Washington's expense. This gathering therefore offers a chance for the U.S. to reverse the tide and build on the potential offered by a natural alliance strengthened by millions of people with Latin American and Caribbean blood who make their homes in the United States. The foundations for a strong hemispheric bloc are there. But they need attention, and the Panama meeting offers a good opportunity to start building."
