Bolivia leader threatens to close US embassy

Bolivia’s leftist President Evo Morales warned in comments published on Sunday that he would close the US embassy in La Paz if Washington continued interfering in his country’s domestic affairs. Morales, who has faced a proliferation of protests over a variety of issues, has accused the US of fuelling the unrest against his government. “If the US embassy continues bothering Bolivia, as it is doing now, then it is best we close the US embassy in Bolivia because we are anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist and anti-neoliberals,” the state-run ABI news agency quoted Morales as saying. The US embassy had no comment. The two countries have not exchanged ambassadors since 2008.
