      The relationship is like this because Evo wants to legalize coca and some other drugs in his country to help "better" the economy. But that is strictly what the united states is trying to prevent is the growth of the illegal drugs.

    So since they don't see eye to eye on that President Evo has thought to remove the U.S. embassy from La Paz but we think the reason he hasn't done it yet is because the United States id 87% of the trade in North America and one of Bolivia's best trading partners.

    Police
    • One problem is that there is organized crime in bolivia
    • Not all memebers on the police force are clean some of them can be corrupt.
    • The bolivian government has a hard time providing the money for vehicles and equipment for the police force
    • This causes more crime and corruption
    • They tried eradicating drug trade in the mountains in 2014 by getting helicopter
    • Some solutions they are trying is rewriting laws
    • This is not that effective
