The US has invited “democracies” in America to a summit in Los Angeles from June 6 to 10.

The US’ intention is obvious: To make allies of those it considers “democracies”. Yet look at how it treats its allies?

It nixed France’s billion dollar submarine deal with Australia.

It eavesdropped on the German chancellor.

It imposed sanctions against Russia without considering what impacts they would have on the EU.

And Japan has suffered much from joining it in challenging the one-China principle.

A kindly reminder to the invitees to the Summit of the Americas: Be careful, and do not fall into the US’ trap.
