NICARAGUAN President Daniel Ortega warned a mass pro-government rally in Managua on Saturday that US-imposed sanctions would bring poverty to the country.
He told the thousands gathered that a Bill being discussed by the US Congress would bring economic chaos to Nicaragua; he has previously accused the Trump administration of “laying the groundwork for insurrection.”
But he struck a defiant tone as he addressed the crowds, warning Washington that attacks on Nicaragua would not be tolerated.
