Daniel Ortega: US Policy Threatens the World
(Prensa Latina) The United States has not changed and continues to have interfering, pro-coup, and threatening policies, and that is a problem not only for Latin America but for the whole world, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega stated.Ortega made those comments in an exclusive August 18 interview with journalist Elena Rostova, host of the "A Solas" television program broadcast by Russian RT television, and a transcript was released here on Monday. Referring to political changes in Latin America in the last few years, the Nicaraguan leader recalled the meeting between several Latin American and Caribbean statesmen and U.S. President Barack Obama in Trinidad and Tobago, where he announced Washington had a new policy on the region. "A few weeks after that meeting, a coup d'etat was carried out in Honduras, which was against the goodwill expressed in Trinidad and Tobago," Ortega said. The Nicaraguan president stressed that the coup not only went against the countries of Latin America, but also against the policy that Obama himself announced in that meeting. Ortega said that was proof that the situation in Latin America has changed, but the U.S. has only changed its rhetoric, and continues acting as usual. What has changed is U.S. methods, he said.
