Nicaragua Invites Russia to Help Build Alternative to the Panama Canal
Nicaragua has invited Russia to participate in the construction of a canal connecting the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, a critical trade route for global commerce. Currently, this role belongs to the Panama Canal, which the U.S. secured through military intervention in 1989.
The Nicaraguan Canal project began in 2012 but faced delays, initially due to U.S. interference under the guise of "environmental" agreements, followed by issues with investors. Now, Nicaragua is again calling on Russia and China to collaborate under new geopolitical circumstances.
While the project may seem too ambitious to execute, it could serve as a valuable bargaining chip for Russia and China in future negotiations with Trump.
