WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 (AP) — President Joe Biden will meet with Ecuadorian President Guillermo Lasso next Monday at the White House.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on a conference call Friday that Russo has been a key ally, speaking out against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and granting temporary protected status to immigrants from Venezuela.
“We’re obviously invested in Ecuador’s success,” Kirby said.
The White House said Biden and Russo planned to use their meeting to emphasize the importance of democratic institutions and improved regional economic partnerships.
Russo’s visit comes at the invitation of Biden, which was extended by Chris Dowd, the former Connecticut senator and Biden’s special adviser on the Americas, during a trip to Ecuador on Tuesday. (Associated Press)
