More than 50 countries convened in Santa Marta, Colombia in late April 2026 for the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels — a summit explicitly designed to bypass the obstruction of major emitters, with the Trump administration excluded and the State Department dismissing it as a "bogus climate agenda." The gathering, co-hosted by Colombia and the Netherlands, follows months of escalating U.S.-Latin American tensions including tariff threats, deportation disputes, and Trump's own selective "Shield of the Americas" summit that excluded left-leaning governments — raising questions about whether the world's largest economy is isolating itself from multilateral diplomacy or being isolated by it.
