WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is trying to increase trade with Latin America. The Democrat is meeting on Thursday with the heads of the Dominican Republic and Chile as part of a broader effort to disrupt China’s dominance in global manufacturing. Biden on Friday will welcome national leaders from across the Western Hemisphere for the first Americas Partnership for Economic Prosperity Leaders’ Summit. The event was announced last year at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. Biden has made it a priority to expand U.S. alliances to counter competitors such as China and rivals such as Russia.
