    Ortega Proposes Seven-Year Presidential Term Extension in Nicaragua

    Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has proposed extending the presidential term from six to seven years, renewable, in a move that could keep him in power until 2028. The constitutional reform, expected to be approved in September, also aims to exclude opposition figures labeled as 'traitors' or 'coup plotters' from elections. The proposal has drawn international criticism, with the US warning against a 'dictatorship' and the EU urging Ortega to hold elections in accordance with international norms.

The UAE's plans to acquire F-35s could also be derailed, as the US forbids S-400s near stealth aircraft due to potential compromises to the F-35's electronic profile. Moreover, integrating different air defence systems into a single network faces technical incompatibility challenges.
