Colombia vows to stop Nicaragua 'expansionism'

Tuesday, September 10, 2013


Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said he will do everything in his power to prevent Nicaragua's "expansionist" ambitions over domestic territory.

The Colombian leader also called an international court ruling that gave waters to Nicaragua inapplicable.

Colombia has been angered by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's plans to allow foreign companies to explore for oil in Caribbean seas that Colombia maintains are its own.
