  • Last week three Americans, working for the US Department of Homeland Security, were expelled from Nicaragua without explanation.
  • After more than a decade out of power Ortega was re-elected in 2006 and has tried to reintroduce socialist policies. He has also announced plans for a huge canal, to rival the Panama Canal, which would be funded by a Chinese consortium.

    Based off of this article, it seems as though the Nicaraguan president wants the country to be viewed as a player on the world stage, but is approaching the matter in a way that could be harmful in the future. As of now the current regime wants to place itself in the center of icy American-Russian diplomatic relations to be recognized and to annoy the White House. Additionally, the article briefly mentions plans for the country to create a rival to the Panama Canal that would be funded by Chinese businesses. The prospects for the new Panama Canal and the country's involvement in American-Russian relations seems to be a power play or an attempt for the country to be recognized by the United States or the world.
