周四，特朗普宣布诺姆将辞去国土安全部长职务，并被任命为”美洲盾牌”特别特使。该峰会将于周六在总统位于佛罗里达州多拉的度假胜地举行。这个由13个国家组成的新联盟旨在推进应对大规模非法移民、贩毒恐怖主义帮派和卡特尔组织的战略。
“经过多年的忽视，特朗普总统确立了’门罗主义’，以恢复美国在西半球的卓越地位。他的努力取得了巨大成功——我们的南部边境是安全的，拉丁美洲国家正在与我们合作打击卡特尔组织，非法独裁者尼古拉斯·马杜罗因在纽约南区的罪行而面临正义审判——这为与委内瑞拉开创了历史性的经济合作，”白宫发言人安娜·凯利在峰会前表示。
“总统成功加强了我们在自家后院的关系，使整个地区更加安全和稳定，本周末的’美洲盾牌’峰会将概括他所有使美国和我们的伙伴再次强大起来的工作，”她继续说道。
特朗普内阁成员，包括国务卿马尔科·卢比奥、战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯、商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克和美国贸易代表杰米森·格里尔也将出席周六的峰会。
将出席的其他国家领导人包括阿根廷的哈维尔·米莱、萨尔瓦多的纳伊布·布克莱·奥尔特斯、玻利维亚的罗德里戈·帕斯·佩雷拉、哥斯达黎加的罗德里戈·查韦斯·罗伯斯、巴拿马的何塞·劳尔·穆利诺·金特罗、特立尼达和多巴哥的卡姆拉·佩尔萨德-比塞萨尔、智利的何塞·安东尼奥·卡斯蒂略、多米尼加共和国的路易斯·罗多尔福·阿维纳多·科罗纳、厄瓜多尔的丹尼尔·罗伊·吉尔克里斯特·诺博阿·阿辛、圭亚那的穆罕默德·伊尔凡·阿里、洪都拉斯的纳西里” Tito”阿斯夫拉和巴拉圭的圣地亚哥·佩尼亚。
据美联社报道，诺姆周五在纳什维尔表示她将出席峰会。报道称，诺姆补充说总统将宣布一项”重大协议”，详细说明”我们将如何在整个西半球打击卡特尔组织和毒品走私”。
周五，赫格塞斯在多拉领导了一场战略会议，与西半球17个不同加勒比、中美洲和南美洲国家的代表进行了磋商。会议期间，他们签署了一份联合安全宣言，重申了对该地区和平与主权的承诺。据一位熟悉峰会计划的消息人士透露，总统计划与与会者庆祝这一成就。
“诺姆部长帮助开创了历史上最安全的边境，驱逐了数十万犯罪非法外国人，并对卡特尔组织开展了创纪录的反毒品行动。所有这些丰富的经验使诺姆能够在她作为’美洲盾牌’特使的新角色中确保美国在整个西半球的卓越地位，”白宫发言人奥利维亚·威尔士说。”这项由诺姆部长领导的历史性新安全倡议将推进前沿战略，以击败贩毒恐怖主义卡特尔组织并阻止非法大规模移民，使美国和整个西半球更加安全。”
周四，卢比奥表示他期待与作为”美洲盾牌”特使的诺姆合作，并呼应了白宫对她经验的评价。
“克里斯蒂作为国土安全部长取得了令人难以置信的成果，在我们促进西半球安全与繁荣的努力中，她将成为巨大的财富，”卢比奥在特朗普任命诺姆担任新职务后在X平台上表示。
Kristi Noem will reportedly join President Donald Trump and 12 Latin American leaders at his resort in Florida for a “Shield of the Americas” summit Saturday after her ouster as the Secretary of Homeland Security and appointment by President Donald Trump to be special envoy for the new coalition of nations.
On Thursday, Trump announced Noem would be exiting her role as Homeland Security secretary and would be appointed a Special Envoy for the “Shield of the Americas,” a summit for which will be held at the president’s resort in Doral, Florida, on Saturday. The new coalition of 13 countries has been formed to advance strategies that will tackle mass illegal immigration, narco-terrorist gangs and cartels.
“After years of neglect, President Trump established the ‘Donroe Doctrine’ to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere. His efforts have been a tremendous success – our southern border is secure, Latin American countries are working with us to defeat the cartels, and illegitimate dictator Nicolas Maduro is facing justice for his crimes in the Southern District of New York – ushering in historic economic cooperation with Venezuela,” said White House spokesperson Anna Kelly ahead of the summit.
“The President has successfully strengthened our relationships in our own backyard to make the entire region safer and more stable, and this weekend’s ‘Shield of the Americas’ Summit will encapsulate all of his work to Make America, and our partners, Strong Again,” she continued.
Members of Trump’s Cabinet, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, will also be at the Saturday summit.
The leaders from other nations who will be present are Argentina’s Javier Milei, El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele Ortez, Bolivia’s Rodrigo Paz Pereira, Costa Rica’s Rodrigo Chaves Robles, Panama’s José Raúl Mulino Quintero, and Trinidad and Tobago’s Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Chile’s Jose Antonio Kast, the Dominican Republic’s Luis Rodolfo Abinader Corona, Ecuador’s Daniel Roy Gilchrist Noboa Azín, Guyana’s Mohamed Irfaan Ali, Honduras’ Nasry “Tito” Asfura, and Paraguay’s Santiago Peña.
Noem confirmed Friday, speaking from Nashville, that she will be at the summit, according to the Associated Press. Noem reportedly added that the president will announce “a big agreement” detailing “how we’re going to go after cartels and drug trafficking in the entire Western Hemisphere.”
On Friday, Hegseth led a strategic conference in Doral with representatives of 17 different Caribbean, Central American and South American countries throughout the Western Hemisphere. During the conference, they signed a joint security declaration, reaffirming their commitment to peace and sovereignty in the region. According to a source familiar with the plans for the summit, the president plans to celebrate this achievement with attendees.
“Secretary Noem helped usher in the most secure border in history, deported hundreds of thousands of criminal illegal aliens, and executed record-setting counter-drug operations against cartels. All of this great experience positions Noem well to ensure American preeminence in the entire Western Hemisphere in her new role as Special Envoy to the Shield of the Americas,” White House spokesperson Olivia Wales said. “This historic new security initiative, led by Secretary Noem, will advance cutting-edge strategies to defeat narco-terrorist cartels and stop illegal mass migration to make America and the entire Western Hemisphere safer.”
On Thursday, Rubio said he looked forward to working with Noem as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, and echoed the comments from the White House about her experience.
“Kristi has achieved incredible results as Secretary of Homeland Security and will be a tremendous asset in our effort to promote security and prosperity in the Western Hemisphere,” Rubio said on X after Trump named Noem to her new post.
