Having lost political and economic ground in Central and South America over the years because of its policies of political interference, the United States is now trying to change tack. The end of the embargo of Cuba is one example of the new policy.
On 10–11 April 2015, the heads of state and government of the 35 nations of North, South, Central America and the Caribbean met at the seventh summit of the Americas. The summit has been a triannual event since 1994. The theme this time was “Prosperity with Equity: The Challenge of Cooperation in the Americas.”
