DORAL, Fla.—President Donald Trump on March 7 will host leaders from 12 Latin American countries in Florida for a summit to address drug cartels and illegal immigration and counter China’s influence in the region.

The event, called the Shield of the Americas Summit, will be hosted at Trump National Doral Club in Miami and is the first such regional meeting to bring together, as the State Department described, “like-minded allies” in the Western Hemisphere.
