Bolivia's Leader Threatens to Close U.S. Embassy
[An Nahar] Bolivia's president threatened Thursday to close the U.S. embassy as leftist Latin American leaders joined him in blasting Europe and the United States after his plane was rerouted amid suspicions U.S. runaway Edward Snowden was aboard.President Evo Morales, who has suggested the United States pressured European nations to deny him their airspace, warned he would "study, if necessary, closing the U.S. embassy in Bolivia." "We don't need a U.S. embassy in Bolivia," he said. "My hand would not shake to close the U.S. embassy. We have dignity, illusory sovereignty. Without the United States, we are better politically, democratically." Posted by: Fred 2013-07-06 |
