The United States embargo against Nicaragua was declared by then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan on May 1, 1985 and prohibited all trade between the U.S. and Nicaragua. In a strategy similar to the embargo against Cuba, it was intended to undermine the Sandanista government which came to power in 1979. ==Embargo== The embargo both forbade American products from entering Nicaragua (with exceptions for medicine and other humanitarian goods) and Nicaraguan products from entering the United States. It further banned all Nicaraguan ships from landing in any U.S. port or planes from landing on U.S. soil. Ronald Reagan, on the day he declared the embargo, stated: "I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, find that the policies and actions of the Government of Nicaragua constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States and hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat." Reagan made four demands against Nicaragua during his embargo announcement: # To "halt its export of armed insurrection, terrorism, and subversion in neighboring countries." # To end its military ties to Cuba and the Soviet Union # To cease its "massive arms buildup" # To adhere, in law and practice, to democratic principles and "observance of full political and human rights." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States embargo against Nicaragua」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
