So it hopes its friend, big business, can help pick up the tab. Unable to persuade Congress or the American public to spend billions of dollars more a year in climate financial aid, the U.S. government is trying to make it easier for private corporations to send cash to the developing world in exchange...

MEXICO CITY (AP) — After an electoral campaign without rallies, demonstrations or even real opposition, Nicaraguans voted in municipal elections Sunday that the governing party hoped would give it near-total control of local governments. President Daniel Ortega’s party already controls all three branches of the federal government and 141 of Nicaragua’s 153 municipalities, and much like Ortega’s 2021 reelection, the new vote was preceded by arrests and crackdowns on opponents. Polls closed Sunday evening, but it was not clear...
