The U.S. has blacklisted former Paraguayan President Horacio Cartes for his function in “significant corruption,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned Friday, as Washington singled out the previous highly effective chief of the landlocked South American nation.
The designation will stop Mr. Cartes, who ruled Paraguay from 2013 to 2018, from coming into the U.S., Mr. Blinken mentioned in a press release.
