This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Biden administration announced new sanctions and other restrictions on Nicaragua Wednesday, aiming to curb migration to the U.S. southern border and penalize the country for alleged human rights abuses and its close ties to Russia.
“The [Nicaraguan] regime sells visas upon arrival at their airports for migrants that require them to leave the country in 96 hours,” a U.S. official explained.
“So they are profiting quite substantially off facilitation of irregular migrants who ultimately, in many cases, make their way up towards our southwest border.”
Because this often involves air travel, the Biden administration also issued an aviation alert today for air carriers and charter flight companies, which is meant to notify the airlines that migrants are being exploited through the use of their planes.
The U.S. is recommending that these businesses participate in travel document validation processes, work with the Biden administration to identify routes that are known for migrant smuggling and report concerns about Nicaraguan government actions at the airports.
Lastly, the U.S. is hoping to hit Nicaragua’s financial elites by sanctioning two government-run gold companies and slapping visa restrictions on 250 government members and society leaders who inhibit rights and freedoms for the Nicaraguan people, the U.S. officials said.
The original article contains 380 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 47%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
One day soon, when enough countries have sanctions against them, then they’ll learn. It won’t ever backfire.
