Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega resurfaced this week after nearly two months out of public view and used the moment to launch a fresh verbal attack on U.S. President Donald Trump calling him mentally unfit after Washington imposed new sanctions on two of Ortega's sons and other figures tied to the country's gold industry.
Ortega's return ended weeks of speculation about his absence and signaled that the Ortega-Murillo government is once again willing to confront the White House publicly as U.S. pressure intensifies.
