Bolivia signed a $20 million deal with the United States to combat drug trafficking. The agreement, signed on June 16, 2026, is the first bilateral anti-drug pact between Bolivia and the United States in nearly two decades. The United States will provide training and equipment to Bolivian law enforcement agencies as part of the effort. Bolivia is the world's third-largest producer of cocaine. President Rodrigo Paz has steered Bolivia toward rapprochement with the United States. In 2008, then-president Evo Morales severed diplomatic relations with the United States and expelled the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) from Bolivia. According to riotimesonline.com, the United States and Bolivia have not yet exchanged ambassadors, and the DEA has not formally resumed operations in Bolivia.
