Summary
The U.S. is stepping up to back Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz amid mounting protests and calls for his resignation, pledging emergency aid to combat severe shortages of food and medicine. Secretary of State Marco Rubio affirmed stronger U.S. support, while Secretary of War Pete Hegseth condemned any efforts to overthrow the government, warning of “narco-terrorists” destabilizing the region. Paz, who took office seven months ago after ending a decade of leftist rule, has faced backlash for economic reforms like cutting fuel subsidies, forcing citizens to wait hours for basic goods. He’s now preparing to empower the military to restore order amid escalating unrest. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
