Nicaragua blocks pathway used by Cuban migrants to reach the US
AI Summary
Nicaragua has blocked Cuban citizens from entering the country without a visa, effectively closing a popular migration route to the U.S. For years, Cubans would fly to Nicaragua and then travel north with smugglers through Central America and Mexico. The Nicaraguan government confirmed the suspension of the visa exemption on Sunday. This action follows a national emergency declaration by former President Trump in January, accusing Cuba of aligning with hostile foreign powers and seeking to punish countries that supply Cuba with oil. With the Nicaraguan route closed, Cubans seeking to reach the U.S. are now primarily left with the option of traveling through Guyana and the Darien Gap or attempting dangerous boat trips to Florida.
