- Nicaragua’s exports to the United States increased from $3.2 billion in 2017 to $5.7 billion in 2022.
- The country benefits from the 2006 CAFTA agreement, with exports to the U.S. representing about half of total exports.
- Despite sanctions and international criticism, Ortega’s regime continues oppressive measures including political persecution.
- Suspending CAFTA risks massive job losses and could intensify undocumented migration to the United States.

Ortega knows that the United States is not ready to take strong actions against him, so he continues to radicalize.— Eric Farnsworth, head of the Washington office of the Council of the Americas and a former State Department official dealing with Nicaragua, commenting on U.S. trade ties and sanctions.
