US Treasury imposes sanctions against Nicaraguan President s daughter, 3 others ANI | Updated: Jun 10, 2021 03:03 IST
Washington [US], June 10 (ANI/Sputnik): The United States imposed sanctions on four Nicaraguan nationals, including the daughter of President Daniel Ortega, the US Treasury Department announced on Wednesday.
Camila Antonia Ortega Murillo, one of the president s nine children and coordinator of the Creative Economy Commission, was added to the Specially Designated Nationals list run by the Treasury s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
The three other sanctioned individuals include Leonardo Ovidio Reyes Ramirez, President of the Central Bank of Nicaragua; Edwin Ramon Castro Rivera, a deputy of the Nicaraguan National Assembly; and Julio Modesto Rodriguez Balladares, a brigadier general of the Nicaraguan Army and executive director of the Military Social Welfare Institute.
Distributing U.S. vaccines to these countries won’t be easy as current sanctions regimes and political scrutiny will make distribution challenging, but it may be one of the only current tools to chip away at growing dependency on China and Russia during the pandemic.

WASHINGTON, May 17 (Reuters) - As the United States searches for a path back to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, it is tiptoeing through a minefield laid by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The mines are Iran-related sanctions Trump imposed on more than 700 entities and people, according to a Reuters tally of U.S. Treasury actions, after he abandoned the nuclear deal and restored all the sanctions it had removed.
Among these, Trump blacklisted about two dozen institutions vital to Iran s economy, including its central bank and national oil company, using U.S. laws designed to punish foreign actors for supporting terrorism or weapons proliferation.
