The Trump administration has condemned the ongoing violence in Nicaragua and the human rights abuses and corruption committed by the self-described democratic socialist regime of Daniel Ortega.
“The United States stands with the people of Nicaragua, including members of the Sandinista party, who are calling for democratic reforms and an end to the violence. Free, fair, and transparent elections are the only avenue toward restoring democracy in Nicaragua,” reads a July 30 statement by the White House press office.
