The United States has recognized Jeanine Anez as Bolivia’s interim president after the resignation of former President Evo Morales, who stepped down after weeks of protests and street clashes in Bolivia.

“The United States applauds Bolivian Senator Jeanine Anez for stepping up as Interim President of State to lead her nation through this democratic transition, under the constitution of Bolivia and in accordance with the principles of the Inter-American Democratic Charter,” US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement.
