Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega is known for his anti-American rhetoric, but he's also known for his government's ability to create jobs.
That's why when the country's National Assembly approved the 2023 general budget on Wednesday, it was accompanied by this line: "The Government thus guarantees greater resources for roads, potable water, electric energy, and ports, in order to strengthen the economic and productive infrastructure of this Central American country."
