US Govt suspends trade deal with Bolivia

Friday, 24 October 2008

The US Government has suspended a trade deal with Bolivia amid worsening relations between the two countries.

The US says it has imposed the move because Bolivian President Evo Morales has failed to improve anti-drug efforts.

The Bush administration has always opposed Mr Morales, an Aymara Indian, former coca grower and left-wing politician.

Last month, he expelled the US Ambassador from Bolivia, accusing him of working with the opposition to undermine his presidency.
