Biden administration investigates labor and human rights abuses in Nicaragua, linked to Ortega's rule.

The Biden administration has launched a year-long investigation into labor and human rights abuses in Nicaragua, prompted by concerns over President Daniel Ortega's authoritarian governance. The probe, authorized under the Trade Act of 1974, examines alleged abuses including politically motivated arrests, forced labor, and human trafficking, and their impact on U.S. commerce. Retaliatory actions will be considered only after the investigation concludes. This move highlights U.S. efforts to uphold labor standards and address human rights issues in trade relationships.
