Nicaragua blasts proposed U.S. sanctions

Nicaragua's vice president spoke out on Tuesday about a proposal in the U.S. Congress that would threaten Managua's access to funding from international lenders.

"It's something that in this day and age provokes embarrassment. We're in the 21st century. I believe that some gentlemen in the North American state think they can do to countries the same thing they did 100, 150 years ago," Moises Omar Halleslevens told reporters.
