Dictator Maduro says "You can't ban ME from the Summit! I'm boycotting YOU!"

Nicolás Maduro says he will not be attending Summit of Americas in Lima



On the eve of the Summit of the Americas, the two most controversial guests in the hemisphere have told Peru on the same day that they won’t be attending the diplomatic summit. After U.S. President Donald Trump said he’d be staying home to deal with his own foreign and domestic problems, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro has confirmed that he will not attend the Americas Summit, either.

In a public announcement Tuesday night, Maduro said he was never planning on coming to the event that begins Friday in Lima.

“The real truth is that this summit is not among our priorities,” Maduro said in a public appearance in Caracas. “It never has been. There is nothing that’s going to get done at this summit. It’s a waste of time.”
