The United States, along with the other countries that make up the Shield of the Americas, condemned the "ongoing efforts" in Bolivia to "overthrow the legitimately and overwhelmingly elected" government of President Rodrigo Paz on Friday.
"The member countries of Shield of the Americas denounce ongoing efforts to overthrow the legitimately and overwhelmingly elected government of President Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia," the statement read. "We stand with Paz’s democratic government as it fights back against attempts to drag Bolivia backwards through cynical efforts to prevent the delivery of food, medicine and other vital supplies to the Bolivian people through fake road blockades."
The statement added that "Mob rule cannot replace the decision that a majority of Bolivians made at the ballot box to turn the page on two decades of corrupt governments."
It also said that anyone who is funding protests with "dirty money" from drug trafficking and transnational crime "should be held accountable. Those who have legitimate grievances should take advantage of the government’s willingness to dialogue, and denounce those who would abuse their causes to regain power."
PETE HEGSETH WARNS NARCO-TERRORISTS AS U.S. BACKS BOLIVIA'S GOVERNMENT AMID COUP WARNINGS
The State Department made the joint statement along with Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago.
The statement comes as Bolivia's capital, La Paz, has been rocked by weeks of social unrest as mass protests have blocked streets in major cities amid economic inflation and rising fuel prices.
Bolivian Defense Minister Marcelo Salinas resigned Tuesday.
Upon taking office, Paz supported a land reform bill to boost agribusiness that Indigenous farmers said put them at risk of eviction. He further scrapped fuel subsidies, sending prices surging by nearly 90%. Motorists complained that the gasoline was contaminated and ruined their cars.

The Trump administration has said drug traffickers are responsible for inciting the mass unrest.
Meanwhile, former President Evo Morales of the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party, the country's first Indigenous president who ruled for an unprecedented 14 years, is calling for early elections. "Paz only has two paths left: a suicidal decision like militarization or ... an election in the next 90 days," he wrote on X.
For almost two years now, Morales has been hiding out in Bolivia's central coca-growing Chapare region, evading an arrest warrant on human trafficking charges relating to allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old girl. He rejects the allegations as politically motivated.
On Thursday, War Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a post on X, that the War Department and the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C), a recently established multinational military and political alliance, reject all attempts to overthrow the government of Rodrigo Paz Pereira six months into his term.

Peru is approaching a decisive presidential runoff election on June 7, in what many analysts describe as one of the country’s most consequential elections in years.
After a fragmented first round featuring dozens of candidates, voters must now choose between conservative politician Keiko Fujimori and left-wing congressman Roberto Sánchez. The election is taking place amid deep political polarization, rising crime, economic concerns, and widespread distrust of state institutions.
Encuesta electoral – 2da vuelta en Perú (Ipsos – 29 al 30/5 – 1204 casos)
K – Fujimori 40,4%
JP – Sánchez 38,3%
En blanco: 21,3% pic.twitter.com/1UrSQ0ojaY— Carlos Nasserna (@NassorIzBrasil) June 2, 2026
Peru has experienced extraordinary political instability over the past decade, marked by a succession of presidents who have ended up imprisoned, impeached, embroiled in corruption scandals, or caught in institutional crises. The winner of the June runoff will become the country’s ninth president in roughly ten years and will take office on July 28 for a five-year term—provided they are not removed from office or jailed beforehand.
The election follows a first round held in April, in which no candidate came close to securing the absolute majority needed to win outright. Fujimori finished first with approximately 17% of the vote, while Sánchez received about 12%, earning both candidates a place in the runoff.
Recent polls continue to show a slight advantage for Keiko Fujimori over Sánchez.
Keiko Fujimori is the more conservative candidate and represents the Fuerza Popular party. She is seeking the presidency for the fourth time. The daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, a highly significant figure in Peruvian history, he is remembered by supporters for defeating insurgent groups and stabilizing the economy. Critics, however, point to his authoritarian tendencies and the human rights violations committed during his administration, which some nonetheless justify in the name of law and order.
Her campaign has emphasized tougher policies against both domestic and international crime, advocating for stronger police forces and enhanced security measures. She also promotes economic stability, market-friendly policies, stricter immigration controls, and reforms aimed at strengthening institutional order and governance.
During the final debate, Fujimori defended measures such as deploying more security forces and adopting tougher responses to organized crime, an issue that has become increasingly central to politics in Peru and across the region.
Roberto Sánchez is a left-wing nationalist representing the Juntos por el Perú party. A congressman and former minister, he emerged as the surprise candidate of the left. He has sought to distance himself from more radical positions, presenting himself as a reformist committed to reducing inequality and strengthening public institutions—issues of major importance in the Andean nation.
His platform includes policies focused on industrial development and economic diversification, police reform, anti-corruption measures, greater state involvement in economic development, expanded social welfare programs, and stronger support for regions outside Lima. Sánchez argues that Peru needs deep structural reforms rather than simply tougher security policies.
The contest remains extremely close. Much attention has been paid to the high proportion of undecided voters and those who may cast blank or invalid ballots. In several surveys, more than 20% of the electorate has yet to clearly support either candidate.
An Ipsos poll conducted on May 29 and 30 gave Fujimori 40.4% voting intention compared with 38.3% for Sánchez. When considering only valid votes, her lead widens slightly to 51.4% versus 48.6%.
A Datum Internacional survey found similar results: 39.8% for Fujimori and 35.9% for Sánchez, with a very high percentage of undecided voters or those planning to vote blank or null.
Reuters reported that both polls show a narrow lead for Fujimori but emphasize that nearly a quarter of the electorate remains undecided, keeping the election wide open.
Finally, it is important to note that Peru remains geographically divided. Fujimori performs strongly in Lima and certain urban areas, while Sánchez maintains advantages in rural regions, the south, and the Amazon basin. However, both candidates face significant levels of public rejection. Fujimori continues to encounter opposition due to the political legacy of Fujimorismo, while Sánchez faces questions regarding his political alliances and governing capabilities.
Internationally, the U.S. ambassador to Peru stressed the importance of transparent elections, while former regional leaders such as Iván Duque openly expressed support for Keiko Fujimori.

The Trump administration is rolling out what experts describe as the most significant expansion of U.S. sanctions on Cuba in decades.
The administration is attempting what supporters say is the first broad application of Cuba-related secondary sanctions against foreign firms, aiming not only at Havana itself but also at foreign companies and banks that continue doing business with the island’s military-linked economic empire.
The new framework, established under an executive order signed by President Donald Trump May 1, applies pressure beyond U.S. companies for the first time, threatening foreign firms with sanctions exposure if they continue operating in key sectors of the Cuban economy linked to Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A., or GAESA.
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PRESSED TO CLOSE CUBA EMBARGO LOOPHOLE AS OIL SET TO RUN OUT WITHIN DAYS
Supporters say the move closes a loophole that allowed foreign investors to sustain Cuba’s communist regime while the longstanding U.S. embargo largely restricted Americans.
Critics argue the measures risk worsening an already severe humanitarian crisis on the island without meaningfully weakening the government.
"At the top of the month, what the Trump administration did was for the first time extend the application of U.S. sanctions from just prohibiting trade between U.S. firms and U.S. persons and the Cuban island to third-party countries and enablers," Max Meizlish, a former Treasury Department official now serving as a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital in an interview.
"For the first time ever in a truly unprecedented fashion, that’s the same logic that the administration is now applying to Cuba," he said.
The sanctions focus heavily on GAESA, a sprawling military-linked conglomerate that analysts estimate controls between 40% and 70% of Cuba’s economy, including tourism, mining, retail, ports and financial services.
A recent Foundation for Defense of Democracies report authored by Meizlish and Connor Pfeiffer argued that foreign companies doing business in Cuba are effectively helping sustain the regime’s military and political leadership.
The State Department sanctioned GAESA and several affiliated entities in May under the new authorities, opening the door for potential penalties against foreign companies and financial institutions that continue dealings with them after a June 5 wind-down deadline.
Meizlish argued previous sanctions regimes failed because they isolated American companies while allowing foreign actors to continue financing the Cuban state.
"There’s a lot of Spanish firms, for instance, that have invested millions of dollars in luxury hotel properties, villa properties in Cuba that partner with GAESA, all funding this military enterprise at the expense of the Cuban people," he said.
He also pointed to Canadian involvement in Cuba’s nickel and cobalt sectors, saying foreign investment has generated "huge amounts of money for the regime."
"A lot of people think about the U.S. embargo over the years is actually being responsible for a lot of the problems on the Cuban island, but they don't give consideration to the fact that GAESA, this newly sanctioned entity, has been sitting on an estimated $20 billion in assets and cash over the year while depriving the people of Cuba," Meizlish told Fox News Digital.
But critics of the policy warn the economic fallout could land hardest on ordinary Cubans.
William LeoGrande, a longtime Cuba expert at American University, said the May 1 measures represent a major escalation because they specifically target foreign businesses rather than just Americans.
LeoGrande said the new sanctions represent a major escalation because they extend beyond Americans and aim to deter foreign companies from doing business with GAESA by threatening sanctions exposure.
LeoGrande acknowledged the measures could deprive the Cuban government of revenue but argued the broader population is likely to suffer most.
CUBA'S ENTIRE ELECTRICAL GRID COLLAPSES, LEAVING WHOLE ISLAND WITHOUT POWER
"This would potentially deprive the Cuban government of funds, but the impact will fall mainly on ordinary citizens because it means the government has fewer resources to import food, medicine and fuel," he said.
The debate comes as Cuba faces its deepest economic and humanitarian crisis in years.
The World Food Programme says food insecurity is worsening amid fuel shortages, inflation and declining access to imported goods, while U.N. officials have warned that electricity shortages and blackouts are disrupting hospitals, vaccination programs and food distribution networks across the island.
LeoGrande also warned tougher sanctions could contribute to another migration crisis.
NICARAGUA BLOCKS PATHWAY USED BY CUBAN MIGRANTS TO REACH THE US
"Another unintended effect is that by making living conditions in Cuba even more desperate, tougher sanctions could trigger a mass migration like we saw in 1980 or 1994," LeoGrande said.
On background, a U.S. official rejected arguments that American sanctions are responsible for Cuba’s humanitarian crisis.
"The suffering of the Cuban people is not caused by the U.S. embargo but by the Cuban dictatorship’s failed Communist policies and human rights violations," the official told Fox News Digital. "The embargo does not prohibit Cuba’s access to world markets or trade with third countries."
The official added that U.S. law explicitly permits exports of food, medicine and medical equipment to Cuba and accused the regime of hiding "billions in overseas bank accounts instead of investing in electricity, infrastructure and the daily needs of its people."
The debate mirrors longstanding arguments surrounding U.S. sanctions on countries like Iran and Venezuela, where supporters view economic pressure as a tool to weaken authoritarian governments while critics argue regimes often survive and civilians absorb the economic damage.
Meizlish argued sanctions should not be judged simply by whether they immediately topple governments.
"The problem isn’t that the embargo went too far," he said. "It’s that it didn’t go far enough."
Fox News Digital reached out to the Cuban Embassy in Washington for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
