The Shield of the Americas countries commend the Government of Bolivia and President @Rodrigo_PazP’s decisive steps to dismantle transnational organized crime and root out criminal influence in public institutions. Arresting and prosecuting current and former senior officials implicated in narcotrafficking proves no one is above the law and strengthens democratic institutions across our hemisphere.

The Trump Administration stands firmly with President @Rodrigo_PazP and Bolivia's democratically elected government as it takes bold and decisive actions to combat narco-trafficking, systemic corruption, and transnational organized crime in Bolivia.
Last week, at the historic Shield of the Americas leaders meeting, the U.S. explicitly reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to safeguarding democratic governance and security in our region against the destabilizing influence of armed narco-terrorist networks.
Bolivia's actions demonstrate the kind of leadership needed to make our hemisphere safer, stronger and more prosperous.

The Shield of the Americas isn’t just words – it’s a coalition that takes action. Today, @StateDept is taking steps to impose visa restrictions on corrupt actors in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru who undermine democratically elected governments. This includes designating Bolivia’s Attorney General Roger Mariaca for corruption. President Trump and @SecRubio made clear: when Shield countries commit to defending democracy against corruption and narcotrafficking, we deliver together. 🇺🇸🤝🇧🇴🇨🇴🇪🇨🇵🇪

We congratulate the authorities of Honduras for declaring Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), the 18th Street Gang, and the Devil's Cartel as foreign terrorist organizations. These criminal groups pose a direct threat to the peace, security, and prosperity of our hemisphere. This historic designation will strengthen Honduras' response capacity to drug trafficking, help combat criminal financing, and significantly boost joint efforts to protect our borders.
