Biden is set to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport at 1:30 p.m., then head to Hollywood to tape an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” which is filmed at the El Capitan Theatre …
President Joe Biden was en route to Los Angeles today as the Summit of the Americas began its formal program of discussions among leaders from Western Hemisphere nations addressing issues ranging from immigration to climate change to COVID.
Biden’s exact travel plans were not released, but motorists between Hollywood and downtown should anticipate possible rolling closures to accommodate a presidential motorcade. Among the partnership’s goals are improvements in international supply chains, creation of clean-energy jobs and efforts to ensure “sustainable and inclusive trade.”
The exclusion of the three nations has led to questions about the legitimacy of the event overall, and increased the presence of critics. Opponents of the gathering’s tenor are planning a meeting of their own, dubbed the People’s Summit for Democracy, which will be at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College.
Various protests are also planned around the actual summit, with Los Angeles-area Republicans planning to hold a rally outside the Sheraton Grand Hotel to protest rising gas prices and inflation. Meanwhile, a group of climate activists plan to drop a banner from the Seventh Street overpass of the Harbor Freeway to protest what they call the Biden administration’s reliance on fossil fuels, and demanding an end to fossil fuel drilling on federal lands.
