'Expel US ambassadors' - Bolivian president

Latin American nations should expel US ambassadors until the United States lifts its economic blockade on Cuba, Bolivian President Evo Morales said.

Mr Morales made the demand during a summit of Latin American and Caribbean leaders in Brazil.

But the Bolivian president’s demand did not receive much support from other leaders, many of whom have expressed hope that President-elect Barack Obama will have a friendlier approach to the left-leaning governments that now hold power in many Latin American nations.
