Biden targets Nicaragua’s gold in new move against Ortega

 President Biden has threatened a ban on American involvement in the Nicaraguan gold industry in the most recent attempt to place sanctions on authoritarian leader Daniel Ortega. This comes after many previous sanctions by the US on the country for attacks against human rights and support of Russia. Ortega also recently spoke out against the US when congratulating Xi Jinping on his next term as leader of  China. The ban is also likely to increase migration as Nicaraguans continue to leave their homeland in large numbers.
