Abinader joins Trump-led Shield of the Americas initiative at UNGA

President Abinader attended a meeting of the Shield of the Americas initiative, convened by U.S. President Trump, alongside other regional leaders during the UN General Assembly. The initiative appears to be a new hemispheric security or cooperation framework, though its specific objectives and commitments remain unclear. This signals Dominican alignment with a U.S.-led regional bloc, potentially reshaping hemispheric alliances.
