Trump to Visit Latin America

Washington, Mar 11: The White House confirmed Saturday U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with regional leaders in Peru next month, a visit that will mark his first trip as president to Latin America.

"This travel demonstrates the President's resolve to deepen our historical ties with our partners in the region and to strengthen our joint commitment to improve security and prosperity for the people of the Americas," a White House statement said.

On his first stop in Lima, Peru, the president will join other leaders in the Western Hemisphere for the Summit of the Americas. In addition to attending the summit, he will also meet with Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski.

Sanders also said the president looks forward to meeting with allies who "share our values and believe that the promise of a safe and prosperous future rests in strong democracies, fair and reciprocal trade, and secure borders."
