BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentine President Alberto Fernandez confirmed he will attend the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles this month in a call with U.S. President Joe Biden Wednesday, Fernandez's office said.

Fernandez had pressured the United States in recent days to invite Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua to the summit, in line with other regional leaders like Mexico's Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who said he would not attend unless all were invited.
