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.
