 Nicaragua's Ortega Says No Meeting With Bush
 MANAGUA (AP) - Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega says he will reject an invitation to meet with President Bush out of ""solidarity"" with Bolivia in its diplomatic spat with Washington.

Bolivian President Evo Morales expelled the U.S. ambassador this week after accusing him of conspiring against his government. Washington rejected the accusations and expelled Bolivia's ambassador to the U.S. the following day.

During his announcement Saturday, Ortega also accused Washington of trying to foment a coup against Morales.

Ortega has often been strident in criticizing Washington. He did not say why he had been invited to the White House.
