Storyline: Latin American and Caribbean leaders unanimously condemned unilateral economic and diplomatic actions by the United States that contravene international law during the 9th Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) in the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa on Wednesday. The summit culminated in the adoption of the Tegucigalpa Declaration, which strongly criticized unilateral U.S. measures that impede international trade. In her opening remarks, Honduran President Xiomara Castro called on Latin American nations to stand together in response to the turbulence caused by chaotic U.S. policies, saying "the United States is redrawing its economic map without asking which peoples are left behind". Other leaders voiced stern criticism of the United States in their speeches at the summit. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel accused the United States of reviving the Monroe Doctrine, pursuing an aggressive and unilateral agenda that threatens the sovereignty of Latin American and Caribbean nations. These actions challenge multilateralism and international law by disregarding fundamental principles such as peaceful coexistence and sovereign equality, the Cuban leader said. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said that "arbitrary tariffs" destabilize the international economy. He also warned that "attempts to revive old hegemonies hover over our region." Bolivian President Luis Arce also expressed strong opposition to the new wave of protectionism championed by major powers, which he said was hindering the development of other nations.
