Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare accused President Joe Biden of treating him with disrespect as a defense of his refusal to attend a White House summit as China works to undercut the traditional friendliness between the United States and Pacific Islands country.
“I am not [going] to go sit down there and listen to people lecture me,” Sogavare told reporters, according to Tavuli News video of his Wednesday press conference. “They must change their strategies. How these meetings are arranged, they will give you three minutes to talk and then you go and listen to them lecture you about how good they are.”Sogavare skipped the U.S.
The Solomon Islands has held historical and strategic significance for U.S. leaders since the Second World War, when U.S. forces attacked Guadalcanal to prevent imperial Japanese troops from establishing an “airstrip [that] would jeopardize the vulnerable oceanic lifelines connecting America and Australia,” as author Joseph Wheelan put it in his history of the "battle that turned the tide" of the war.
