Bolivia’s first indigenous president Evo Morales resigned Sunday after weeks of protests following a disputed election. ADVERTISEMENTThe U.S. officials said the Bolivian military merely pointed out the fact that public security had deteriorated by the time they asked Morales to resign. The Organization of American States has called an emergency meeting Tuesday afternoon to discuss the situation in Bolivia. Morales’ vice president also resigned, as did the Senate president, who was next in line. President Donald Trump said the U.S. applauds the Bolivian people for demanding freedom and the Bolivian military for abiding by its oath to protect Bolivia’s constitution.
