President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, dozens of world leaders and 35 kids representing countries of the Western Hemisphere arrived in Los Angeles for the event. The Summit of the Americas happens about every three years and brings together representatives from countries in the Western Hemisphere to tackle issues such as immigration, trade and poverty. The U.S. hasn't hosted since the very first one in 1994, which President Bill Clinton oversaw in Miami. The Biden administration chose Los Angeles this year because of its "deep and robust ties throughout our hemisphere," including being home to the largest Latino community in the nation, according to the administration.
