BOLIVIA: Morales kicks out DEA
President Evo Morales applauded the victory of Barack Obama in the US
presidential elections, expressing optimism for an improvement in US-Bolivia
relations. His remarks, however, followed fast on the heels of his combative
decision to order the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to suspend
activities in the country. This was a response to a repeat of the threat by the
Bush administration to suspend Bolivia's designation as a beneficiary under the
Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act (Atpdea).
