A LEAKED document revealed by Nicaragua’s independent “Radio La Primerisima” has shown that the Trump administration is accelerating its plans — illegal under international law — to enforce “regime change” in Nicaragua.
The 14-page plan produced by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) sets out how it expects a contractor to achieve or support a change in government that will be favourable to US interests.
What is prompting this US initiative is concern that the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) party could win the presidential election scheduled for November 2021 and continue policies in terms of the economy and regional affairs that are contrary to the US’s wishes.
