Bolivia, under President Rodrigo Paz, is shifting its foreign policy towards improved relations with the U.S. after two decades of opposition. Paz's administration has eliminated visa requirements for U.S. citizens, invited the DEA to conduct anti-trafficking operations, and is seeking U.S. tech investments.

At the 'Shield of the Americas' summit in Miami, Paz will discuss drug trafficking and trade with Trump and other Latin American leaders. The administration aims to boost the economy through multibillion-dollar loans and foreign investments in minerals and lithium. Paz's election followed internal divisions in the previous ruling party, and he faces challenges balancing U.S. interests with domestic concerns.
