而国际上和美国国内也有质疑声音，例如批评受邀与会的包括一些有威权专制倾向的领导人，比如菲律宾、波兰和巴西等国的领导人，有人怀疑拜登政府的真正意图并非为了民主而是为了地缘政治目的组织了这次峰会。
There were doubts internationally and in the U.S.; for example, the U.S. was criticized for inviting leaders who had the tendency to be authoritarians, such as the leaders of the Philippines, Poland and Brazil, and some suspected that the real intention of the Biden government was geopolitics, not democracy.
