Paraguay says it wants the US ambassador to leave the country in apparent protest over sanctions

The government of Paraguay has effectively ordered the United States ambassador to leave the South American nation, escalating tensions between the allies in the wake of the Biden administration’s sanctions on a tobacco company linked to the country’s powerful former president. Ostfield’s expedited departure, the ministry said, would “avoid the loss of confidence in a person damaging the relationship that we have historically maintained.”
