US' attempt to shape itself as the sole leader of the "democratic camp" through the Summit for Democracy won't achieve the desired effect. This is primarily because the US cannot provide attractive leverage nor use its own performance to prove that being in the same camp as the US can help other countries obtain more benefits and larger room for development.
The White House announced on Tuesday that it will host a second Summit for Democracy on March 29 and 30, 2023, and Costa Rica, the Netherlands, Zambia and South Korea will act as co-hosts.
The first Summit for Democracy hosted by US President Joe Biden in December 2021 was snubbed. Among around 110 countries and regions invited by the US government, 89 came to the virtual gathering, according to media reports.
