The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public statements confirm a shared emphasis on expanding cooperation, with officials describing a strong interest in deepening ties during high-level engagement. Evidence so far centers on political will and articulated intent rather than finalized agreements.
In terms of progress, a February 4, 2026 meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo highlighted the intent to expand cooperation. Both sides discussed expanding strategic cooperation, economic engagement, and collaboration on common interests, as noted in official readouts.
Concrete, verifiable actions (such as new agreements or joint programs) have not been publicly announced as of the current date. The Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the meeting as strengthening the bilateral agenda and deepening dialogue, but no specific agreements have been disclosed.
Key milestones include the February 4, 2026 meeting in
Washington, and subsequent official statements from both the U.S. State Department and Bolivia's Foreign Ministry underscoring a path toward closer cooperation. No completion date or binding commitments have been publicly published.
Source reliability appears high for the reported statements: the State Department readout (official
U.S. government source) and the Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs release corroborate the discussions and intent. Cross-checks with independent outlets are sparse, and no additional actions have been publicly documented beyond the initial meeting.

Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as publicly stated by Secretary Rubio during a meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo (Feb 4, 2026).
Evidence of progress: The
U.S. and Bolivia participated in the broader U.S.-led Critical Minerals Ministerial, where Bolivia was among the delegations, signaling ongoing high-level engagement and a platform for future cooperation (State Dept readout, Feb 4, 2026; ministerial fact sheet). Bolivia’s participation indicates continued mutual interest, particularly in areas like economic openness and technical cooperation tied to critical minerals (Bolivian foreign ministry page, Feb 4, 2026).
Evidence of completed or ongoing action: No new bilateral agreements, MOUs, or joint programs between the United States and Bolivia were publicly announced as of mid-February 2026. The ministerial produced broader frameworks and MOUs with several countries, including several in
the Western Hemisphere, but a Bolivia-specific bilateral instrument has not yet been disclosed in official U.S. or Bolivian statements (State Dept ministerial page; Bolivian cancilleria release).
Dates and milestones: The initial meeting occurred on Feb 4, 2026, and the ministerial events spanned that same week, with Bolivia’s presence noted in the attendee list. The absence of a Bolivia-specific agreement by Feb 13, 2026 suggests the trajectory is exploratory rather than concluded (State Dept readout; official ministerial materials; Bolivian foreign ministry page).
Source reliability and incentives: Primary sources are official U.S. State Department releases and the Bolivian Foreign Ministry, which are appropriate for tracking diplomatic intent and formal actions. The incentives at play include expanding economic engagement and addressing citizen security through cooperation on transnational crime, as framed in the State Department readout, which aligns with both governments’ stated interests.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 01:58 PMin_progress
Restated claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as reflected in a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo. Progress evidence: A State Department readout dated February 4, 2026 notes that both countries discussed expanding cooperation and that Bolivia participated in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, with the Secretary expressing support for Bolivia’s economic opening to the world. Current status: While the readout confirms an interest in expanding cooperation, there is no public, verifiable report of concrete, actionable steps—such as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs—being finalized as of February 13, 2026. Reliability note: The primary source is the U.S. State Department’s official readout, which is authoritative for diplomatic contacts but does not themselves confirm concrete outcomes. No independent verification of specific bilateral actions has surfaced publicly to date.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 12:19 PMin_progress
Restated claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Evidence now shows both sides engaging in ongoing discussions and symbolic steps, but no finalized, verifiable bilateral agreements have been publicly announced as completed as of mid-February 2026. The State Department readout from February 4, 2026 notes the Secretary’s support for Bolivia’s economic opening and confirms continued collaboration in areas like economic growth and security, but stops short of a new binding agreement.
Concrete progress to date: The most tangible development appears to be Bolivia-related action in other U.S.-Bolivia cooperation channels, including Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial and the State Department’s emphasis on expanding economic and security cooperation (State Dept readout, 2026-02-04). Additionally, a separate but relevant track is the January 26, 2026 Federal Register notice proposing an extension of the U.S.-Bolivia Cultural Property Agreement, which would represent a verifiable, concrete bilateral step if finalized. These items indicate progress in cooperation but not a completed agreement framed around broader bilateral expansion.
Status of the completion condition: There is no public record of a new bilateral treaty, framework agreement, or formal program launched between the two countries by February 13, 2026. The culture-property extension proposal and Bolivia’s participation in ministerial-level fora suggest incremental steps rather than a fully realized expansion package. Until a signed agreement or formal program is announced, the completion condition remains unmet.
Key dates and milestones: February 4, 2026 – Secretary Rubio’s meeting readout highlighting shared interest in expanding cooperation. January 26, 2026 – Federal Register notice proposing to extend the Bolivia-U.S. Cultural Property Agreement (potentially binding and verifiable once finalized). Public comment and finalizing steps for that agreement would constitute the closest concrete milestone to date. No other new bilateral agreements or joint initiatives have been publicly announced as of mid-February 2026.
Reliability of sources: The State Department’s official readout provides a primary, authoritative account of the February meeting and stated intentions. The Federal Register notice offers a legally actionable, verifiable step (proposed extension of a cultural property agreement) with a clear process. Taken together, these sources support a cautious conclusion of ongoing, incremental progress toward expanded cooperation, without evidence of a completed, comprehensive bilateral package by the stated date.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 09:58 AMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public readouts show that on February 4, 2026, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, indicating a shared intent to deepen ties (State Department readout, Feb 4, 2026).
Evidence of progress includes high-level engagement and a public framing that the bilateral agenda should be strengthened, with emphasis on strategic cooperation, political dialogue, and areas of mutual interest (Bolivia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs press release, Feb 4, 2026).
However, as of February 12, 2026, there is no publicly disclosed record of concrete, verifiable actions such as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs resulting from this meeting. The available statements describe intent and a goodwill trajectory rather than finalized measures.
Reliability notes: the principal sources are the U.S. State Department (official readout) and Bolivia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (official press release), both contemporaneous and primary for the event. The coverage from other outlets corroborates the timing and nature of the meeting but does not add verifiable milestones beyond the stated goals. The divergence between stated intent and published actions suggests the process is in the early stages.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 06:59 AMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. The available record confirms a high-level meeting on February 4, 2026, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo discussed expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world (with Aramayo participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial). This establishes explicit intent but not a completed set of actions.
Evidence of progress includes public statements from the State Department highlighting a shared interest in expanding economic growth, trade opportunities, and solutions to transnational crime, tied to Bolivia’s reform agenda and its participation in mineral-related diplomacy. However, there is no publicly verifiable report of concrete, verifiable actions such as new agreements, memoranda of understanding, joint initiatives, or formal programs as of mid-February 2026.
With the current information, the next milestones would be specific agreements or programs announced by either government (e.g., trade accords, investment protections, or security cooperation initiatives). None are publicly documented in major, independent outlets by February 12, 2026. The claim remains aspirational pending tangible, bilateral actions.
Source reliability: the primary cited source is the U.S. State Department readout (official government communication), which provides direct confirmation of the meeting and stated aims. Supplemental coverage from Reuters corroborates that the talks occurred and framed cooperation positively, but these reports vary in depth and may reflect editorial emphasis. Overall, the reporting supports the existence of a shared intent but not yet verifiable progress beyond the initial discussions.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 04:42 AMin_progress
Restated claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, with public remarks of a shared ambition to broaden engagement.
Evidence of progress: A February 4, 2026 State Department readout confirms Secretary Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation, and notes Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial as part of Bolivia’s engagement with
US-led discussions on economic openness. The 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial further shows Bolivia among delegations in attendance, signaling continued high-level dialogue (State Dept readout; 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial, Feb. 4, 2026).
Status of concrete actions: As of February 12, 2026, there have been no publicly announced bilateral agreements, MOUs, or joint programs between the United States and Bolivia tied to expanding cooperation. The ministerial coverage emphasizes broader critical minerals diplomacy with multiple countries, including Bolivia, but does not cite a specific US-Bolivia framework or signed project (State Dept readout; 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial fact sheet).
Dates and milestones: The notable milestone is the February 4, 2026 meeting and Bolivia’s presence at the ministerial event on February 3–4, 2026. No subsequent formal bilateral instruments or concrete programs with Bolivia have been announced to date (State Dept readout; 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial fact sheet).
Source reliability: The primary sources are official State Department materials and a formal ministerial fact sheet, both high-quality and directly documenting the events and attendees. While these indicate ongoing dialogue, they do not confirm specific binding commitments with Bolivia as of the current date (State Dept readout; 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial fact sheet).
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 03:07 AMin_progress
Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Evidence of progress: On February 4, 2026, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo and voiced strong interest in expanding cooperation, with Bolivia participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial as part of an emphasis on Bolivia’s economic opening to global engagement (State Department readout, 2026-02-04). The readout also highlights a shared aim to advance economic growth, trade opportunities, and solutions to transnational crime, indicating the bilateral relationship is moving toward concrete collaboration rather than solely aspirational talk. Current status and completion likelihood: As of February 12, 2026, there were no publicly announced, verifiable follow-up actions such as new agreements or formal programs disclosed; progress appears to be in the early, foundational stage with ongoing discussions rather than completed instruments (State Department readout, 2026-02-04). Reliability note: The primary sourcing is the U.S. State Department, which provides an official government account of the meeting and stated aims; independent corroboration of subsequent actions remains limited at this time.
Update · Feb 13, 2026, 12:32 AMin_progress
What the claim stated:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, voiced during Secretary Rubio’s meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo on February 4, 2026. The public readout emphasizes a shared interest to advance cooperation and notes Bolivia’s economic opening as context for deeper ties. The claim rests on that expression of mutual interest rather than on enacted agreements at that time (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).
What evidence exists of progress: The State Department readout confirms a discussion of expanding cooperation and highlights Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, with a stated aim to advance economic growth, trade opportunities, and citizen security collaboration. There is no public report of concrete, verifiable actions (new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs) as of the date provided. The available material is a diplomatic meeting note rather than an implementation milestone (State Department, 2026-02-04).
Completion status: No concrete actions have been publicly documented to date. The completion condition—concerted, verifiable steps such as new agreements or formal programs—remains unfulfilled in publicly accessible records. Without additional follow-up announcements or confirmation from either government, the status stays as in_progress.
Dates and milestones: The sole dated item is the February 4, 2026 meeting and readout. No subsequent milestones or completion announcements are publicly shown in available sources. If progress occurs, it would likely appear as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs announced by the State Department or Bolivian authorities.
Source reliability and interpretation: The principal source is the U.S. State Department’s official readout, a primary and reliable source for diplomacy-related statements. Secondary outlets corroborate the event but largely reproduce the official language. Given the incentives of the involved governments to project engagement, careful attention to any forthcoming actions is warranted (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).
Follow-up note: A targeted update after a defined period (e.g., six months) would help verify whether any concrete cooperative steps have materialized. Follow-up date: 2026-08-04.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 08:44 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation.
Public records show a high-level exchange reinforcing that interest, but concrete bilateral actions were not announced in the immediate aftermath.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation, with Bolivia participating in the Secretary’s Critical Minerals Ministerial, signaling continued engagement on shared priorities but not a Bolivian-specific agreement announced at that time.
The Critical Minerals Ministerial reports that the United States signed multiple bilateral frameworks and MOUs with various partners on that day, and Bolivia was among the attendees, underscoring momentum around expanded cooperation in practice rather than a formal Bolivian-specific accord disclosed publicly at the time.
As of February 12, 2026, there is evidence of sustained dialogue and participation in joint fora, but no verifiable, concrete bilateral agreement, joint program, or formal mechanism between the United States and Bolivia has been publicly announced.
Source material indicates ongoing discussions consistent with the claim’s premise, but it has not yet fulfilled the completion condition of a verifiable bilateral action. The sources cited are official
U.S. government communications and ministerial briefings, which are high-quality primary sources for this topic.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 05:25 PMin_progress
Restated claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, with high-level discussions indicating a shared aim to broaden engagement.
Evidence of progress: Bolivia participated in the 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial hosted by the United States, where the United States announced new bilateral frameworks with several partners and highlighted ongoing diplomacy to secure diversified supply chains. This attendance signals continued high-level engagement around broad cooperation themes, including governance, trade, and security, but no specific new Bolivia-
U.S. agreements were publicly announced at the event (state.gov, 2026-02-04).
Current status of completion: As of 2026-02-12, there is no publicly disclosed bilateral agreement, memorandum of understanding, or formal program between the United States and Bolivia in place. Public statements reflect ongoing discussions and interest, but concrete, verifiable actions (new treaties, joint initiatives, or formal programs) have not been publicly announced.
Dates and milestones: The ministerial attendance confirms ongoing dialogue as of February 2026, and prior late-2025 U.S. signaling of
Bolivian reforms suggests a favorable policy environment for deeper cooperation. Notably, Bolivia was listed among attendees at the February 2026 ministerial, signaling diplomatic openness and alignment in participation (state.gov, 2026-02-04; 2025-12-18 press release).
Source reliability note: The primary evidence comes from the U.S. Department of State’s official releases, which document attendee lists and ministerial outcomes. While these sources confirm engagement and intent to cooperate, they do not show concrete bilateral agreements as of the current date. Supplemental context from the State Department’s Bolivia relations overview provides background on the bilateral relationship’s trajectory.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 03:39 PMin_progress
What the claim states:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as articulated in a February 4, 2026 State Department readout of Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo.
Progress evidence: Public
U.S. officials framed the meeting as a discussion of expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, with Bolivia participating in the Secretary’s broader Critical Minerals Ministerial the same week (State Department readout, 2026-02-04; 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial readout).
Current status: While the discussions and Bolivian participation at the ministerial signal active engagement, there is no publicly disclosed bilateral agreement, framework, or formal program yet. The available posts emphasize intent and dialogue rather than concrete, verifiable actions completed between the two countries (State Department readouts, 2026-02-04; 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial).
Milestones and reliability: Key milestones include the February 4 meeting and Bolivia’s attendance at the Critical Minerals Ministerial in
Washington, which establishes a platform for future agreements. Given the absence of announced bilateral accords or programs, the status remains positive but not completed; sources from the U.S. government present progress in process rather than finished actions. These sources are official State Department records, which increases reliability for the described events (State Department readouts, 2026-02-04; 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial).
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 02:00 PMin_progress
Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as reflected in a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo.
Evidence of progress: Public readouts confirm that the February 4, 2026 meeting discussed expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, with Bolivia’s Foreign Minister participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. Bolivian and
U.S. officials framed the discussions as strengthening strategic cooperation and continuous dialogue on shared areas of interest.
Current status: There is no public evidence of concrete, verifiable actions completed as a result of the meeting—no new bilateral agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs have been announced as of February 12, 2026. The coverage remains at the level of high-level discussions and intent to expand cooperation.
Source reliability note: The State Department readout is an official U.S. government source, and the Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a contemporaneous briefing describing the high-level bilateral meeting. Both sources align on the occurrence of the meeting and its stated aims, but neither reports a signed agreement or implementable program at this time.

The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. The State Department readout confirms a February 4, 2026 meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo, noting a shared interest in expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s openness to economic engagement.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 10:00 AMin_progress
Restatement of claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as announced after a meeting between
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo. The claim is that both countries seek to broaden their bilateral relationship beyond current ties.
Evidence of progress: The State Department release confirms the February 4, 2026 meeting and notes the explicit emphasis on expanding cooperation, with Bolivia participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. The statement also highlights support for Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, signaling a policy alignment toward greater engagement and collaboration on critical minerals and related areas.
Assessment of completion status: As of 2026-02-11, there are no publicly announced concrete, verifiable actions (such as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs) resulting from the meeting. The available official communications describe intent and a shared interest but do not record signed frameworks or actionable commitments.
Dates and milestones: The primary milestone publicly documented is the February 4, 2026 meeting and Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. No subsequent, independently verifiable milestones (e.g., MOUs, trade or cooperation agreements) have been reported to date.
Source reliability and caveats: The principal source is the U.S. Department of State official release, which provides a direct account of the interaction and stated aims. While authoritative for official positions and statements, it does not by itself establish binding actions; independent confirmation of any concrete deals would be needed to mark progress as completed.
Follow-up note: Given the ongoing emphasis on expanding cooperation, a follow-up review on or after 2026-12-31 (or earlier if new announcements emerge) is recommended to verify whether concrete agreements or programs have materialized.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 05:24 AMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation and would pursue concrete steps. The State Department readout from February 4, 2026, confirms a meeting between Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo and notes a shared interest in expanding cooperation, with Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Minerals Ministerial as a contextual mechanism for deeper ties (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).
Evidence of progress to date shows engagement at high levels and inclusion in broader multilateral discussions on critical minerals. The 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial list includes Bolivia among participating delegations, signaling formal acknowledgment of Bolivia as a partner in U.S.-led efforts to diversify supply chains and foster collaboration on minerals and related policy (State Department, 2026-02-04).
However, there is no publicly announced bilateral agreement, framework, or formal program between the United States and Bolivia as of the current date. The available materials indicate intent and participation in joint forums, but do not document concrete, verifiable bilateral actions such as MOUs or joint initiatives specifically with Bolivia (State Department readout; 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial fact sheet, both 2026-02-04).
Reliability note: the primary sources are official
U.S. government communications, which reliably reflect the administration’s stated positions and actions. Given Bolivia’s attendance in a multilateral setting and the absence of a disclosed bilateral instrument, the situation remains developmental and contingent on forthcoming announcements (State Department readout, 2026-02-04; Critical Minerals Ministerial fact sheet, 2026-02-04).
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 03:55 AMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public statements indicate both sides framed their discussions around broad, strategic cooperation and deeper dialogue. Evidence suggests a shared intent to expand areas of collaboration rather than a completed package of new agreements.
On February 4, 2026, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo met in
Washington,
D.C., with officials describing a focus on expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world (State Department readout, 2026-02-04). The Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs likewise reported a high-level meeting aimed at strengthening the bilateral agenda and deepening strategic cooperation (Bolivia MFA, 2026-02-04).
There are no publicly announced, concrete agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs as of the current date. The coverage points to ongoing diplomatic engagement and intent, but no verifiable milestones have been published that would mark completion of the promised expansion (State Department readout; Bolivia MFA press release).
Source material comes from official government outlets, which provide contemporaneous accounts of the meeting and stated objectives. While these reflect mutual interest and high-level momentum, independent verification of specific actions or signed instruments remains limited. Given the lack of concrete outcomes disclosed to date, the status remains in_progress rather than complete or failed.

Claim restated:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation during a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo. The readout indicated both sides discussed expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, with
U.S. focus on economic growth, trade opportunities, and citizen-security collaboration.
Progress evidence: The State Department readout on February 4, 2026, confirms the meeting and a stated interest in expanding cooperation, including Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. Independent reporting around the same period notes Bolivia and the United States exploring the reinstatement of ambassadors as part of restoring fuller diplomatic ties, signaling concrete, if incremental, steps toward deeper ties (e.g., potential ambassadorial exchanges, economic diplomacy).
Current status: There is public evidence of ongoing discussions and a shared aim to expand cooperation, but no final, verifiable agreement or formal program had been announced by February 11, 2026. The available reporting describes intentions and negotiations (e.g., ambassador reinstatement discussions) rather than completed, binding commitments.
Dates and milestones: February 4, 2026 — State Department readout of Rubio–Aramayo meeting. Early February 2026 — media reports citing talks on reinstating ambassadors and broader rapprochement. No published date yet for completion of concrete agreements or joint initiatives as of 2026-02-11.
Reliability note: The primary source is an official State Department readout, which is a reliable locator for the stated intent. Supplementary coverage from AFP via RFI corroborates ongoing negotiations about restoring diplomatic ties and ambassadorial postings. For context, these reports describe negotiations and intentions rather than finalized agreements, aligning with the classification of in_progress rather than complete.
Update · Feb 12, 2026, 12:06 AMin_progress
Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, with a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo highlighting this intent.
Progress evidence: The State Department readout confirms the meeting and states that both countries discussed expanding cooperation, including Bolivia’s economic opening to the world and opportunities in trade, investment, and citizen security. Aramayo participated in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, signaling linkage to broader economic and energy-related cooperation. No publicized follow-up agreements or formal programs were announced at that time.
Assessment of completion status: There is no public record of concrete, verifiable actions completed since the February 4, 2026 meeting (e.g., new bilateral agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs). The available evidence points to an initial alignment of interests and a stated intent to expand cooperation, with ongoing discussions implied but not yet codified in binding actions.
Reliability and caveats: The primary source is the U.S. Department of State readout, an official government account of the meeting. While it is a credible indicator of stated intent, it does not confirm tangible progress beyond the initial discussion and participation in a multilateral mineral ministerial. Additional future updates from State or Bolivian authorities would be needed to verify concrete actions.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 09:28 PMin_progress
Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation.
Evidence of progress: A February 4, 2026 State Department readout states that Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation, and notes Bolivia’s engagement in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. This signals diplomatic intent and continued dialogue but does not document specific, verifiable actions.
Current status: As of February 11, 2026, no concrete bilateral actions (such as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs) have been publicly announced. The readout focuses on stated interest and broad aims rather than implemented measures.
Reliability and context: The primary source is an official State Department readout, which is suitable for tracking diplomatic statements and intent. No independent corroboration of concrete steps has been found in publicly available reporting. The absence of measurable milestones suggests the effort remains in early negotiation or planning stages.

Source reliability and notes: The principal source is the U.S. Department of State (official readout), a primary and reliable source for diplomatic engagements. Reporting around the topic from other outlets appears to echo the State Department’s account but does not provide independent confirmation of concrete measures.
Follow-up note: To determine whether progress has translated into verifiable actions, a follow-up would be appropriate around mid-2026 to check for any new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs between the United States and Bolivia.

The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, with public signaling of a desire to broaden ties. The State Department readout from February 4, 2026, confirms that Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo discussed expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s openness to economic engagement.
Progress evidence: The readout notes Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Minerals Ministerial, indicating ongoing high-level engagement and a platform for expanding technical and economic collaboration. Bolivia publicly framed its participation as part of a broader push to position the country as an active, strategic player in global mineral supply chains (Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs report for February 4, 2026).
Current status of the completion condition: No concrete bilateral agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs have been publicly announced as of 2026-02-11. The available sources show diplomatic signaling and participation in multilateral forums, but not verifiable, new bilateral instruments or programs between the two countries.
Source reliability and incentives: The key source is an official State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026), reinforced by the Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs posting (Feb 4, 2026) detailing Bolivia’s stance and participation. These sources are aligned in emphasizing diplomatic engagement and shared interests in economics, trade opportunities, and security challenges from transnational crime, while stopping short of reporting concrete commitments. The incentives appear to be bilateral economic openness, strategic mineral interests, and regional influence, which suggest that progress may hinge on forthcoming negotiations and potential bilateral agreements.

Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as stated by a U.S. State Department readout of a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo on February 4, 2026. The readout framed the discussion around bolstering economic ties, trade opportunities, and security cooperation tied to transnational crime, with Bolivia participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial.
Progress evidence: The only publicly available evidence of progress is the February 4, 2026 readout from the State Department noting both countries’ “strong interest in expanding cooperation” and Bolivia’s engagement in the Secretary’s mineral ministerial event. This establishes a formal acknowledgment of intent but does not specify concrete actions.
Completion status: No concrete, verifiable actions have been announced publicly as of February 11, 2026 (e.g., new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs). The readout describes intent and ongoing engagement but does not confirm signed agreements or formal programs.
Dates and milestones: The key dated item is the February 4, 2026 readout. There are no publicly reported milestones or completion dates since then, making it unclear when or if tangible steps will be finalized.
Reliability note: The source is the U.S. Department of State (official government communications), which is a reliable conduit for policy signals and stated intentions. The absence of concrete agreements in subsequent reporting suggests the claim remains at the exploratory/intent stage rather than completed.

Restatement of the claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as stated by Secretary Rubio after his meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo. The State Department readout notes a shared interest in expanding cooperation and mentions Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial as context for deeper ties. Progress evidence is limited to diplomatic signaling and participation in related events, with no announced new agreements or formal programs (State Department readout, Feb 4, 2026). Concrete milestones or completion of the pledged expansion have not been disclosed as of mid-February 2026. The reliability of the primary source is high, given it is an official transcript of a
U.S. government briefing, though it provides only initial statements rather than finalized actions. Overall, the situation appears to be in the early, pre-implementation phase pending subsequent concrete steps by both governments.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 09:51 AMin_progress
The claim is that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. The available readout confirms both sides discussed expanding cooperation and noted Bolivia's economic opening, with Bolivia’s Foreign Minister participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. However, the statement does not show concrete actions or new binding commitments as of now (no new agreements or formal programs announced in the follow-up materials). The evidence points to a diplomatic intent rather than completed or verifiable steps toward expansion.
Progress evidence includes public remarks from Secretary of State Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo confirming mutual interest, and Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, which signals cooperation within a multilateral framework. The State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026) specifies discussions of expanding cooperation and economic openness, but it does not document specific agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs.
There is no verifiable completion of the promised expansion. No bilateral agreements, memoranda of understanding, or formal programs are publicly announced or enacted in the period following the meeting. The projected completion date remains unspecified, and the current record indicates ongoing diplomatic engagement rather than a closed, verifiable outcome.
Source reliability: The primary source is an official State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026), supported by embassy and national press coverage noting the meeting. These sources are appropriate for tracking official diplomacy, though they do not provide independent verification of concrete actions beyond the stated discussions. Given the lack of concrete milestones, the assessment remains cautious about progress to date.

Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as stated after the February 4, 2026 meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo. The readout emphasizes a shared desire to broaden economic ties, trade opportunities, and citizen security collaboration, with Bolivia’s openness to global markets highlighted through its participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial (State Dept, 2026-02-04).
What progress has been made: The State Department readout confirms ongoing discussions about expanding cooperation and notes Bolivia’s participation in a major U.S.-led mineral ministerial event, signaling diplomatic engagement at high levels (State Dept, 2026-02-04).
Concrete actions to date: The article does not report any binding agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs enacted as a result of the meeting. It describes intent and continued dialogue rather than completed milestones (State Dept, 2026-02-04).
Evidence of status: The completion condition—new agreements or formal programs—has not been evidenced in publicly released materials up to February 10, 2026. The available report frames the relationship as expanding in scope rather than delivering specific deliverables (State Dept, 2026-02-04).
Dates and milestones: The primary dated milestone is the February 4, 2026 meeting and Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial; there are no additional milestones identified in the public record to date (State Dept, 2026-02-04).
Notes: Source reliability: The primary source is a United States Department of State readout, an official government communication, which provides authoritative details on what was discussed but does not verify any concrete actions beyond the stated intent. No corroborating public announcements from Bolivian officials or other credible outlets indicate signed agreements as of the current date.

Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, including discussion of deeper engagement and shared interests.
Progress evidence: A February 4, 2026 State Department readout confirms Secretary Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s openness to economic engagement, with Bolivia’s participation noted in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. The Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs similarly framed the meeting as strengthening a high-level bilateral agenda focused on strategic cooperation and political dialogue.
Progress status: As of 2026-02-10, there are public indications of high-level discussions and a stated intent to expand cooperation, but no publicly disclosed, verifiable concrete actions (new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs) have been announced. The available statements describe intent and discussions rather than finalized commitments.
Milestones and dates: Key documented items include the February 4, 2026 meeting in
Washington, and Bolivia’s official statement describing it as a milestone in diplomatic engagement. There are no subsequent, independently verifiable milestones (e.g., new bilateral treaties or signed memoranda) reported in the sources consulted.
Source reliability note: The principal materials are from the U.S. Department of State and Bolivia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, both official outlets. They provide direct readouts of meetings and stated objectives, but do not yet show independent verification of concrete outcomes. Additional independent reporting would help confirm any enacted agreements.
Follow-up assessment: Given the absence of confirmed, verifiable actions by 2026-02-10, the status remains in_progress rather than complete or failed. Monitoring through official releases for the next several months is warranted to determine whether concrete initiatives or agreements materialize.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 02:42 AMin_progress
Claim restated:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. The February 4, 2026 State Department readout confirms a meeting between Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation, signaling continued high-level interest from both sides. There is no published evidence of a completed agreement or formal program as of the current date.
Progress observed: The public record shows ongoing diplomatic engagement and an openness to deeper economic ties. In December 2025, the United States welcomed Bolivia’s announced economic reforms and stated that
U.S. officials were seeking to facilitate investments in Bolivia, which aligns with the stated aim of expanding cooperation. The February 2026 meeting took place within that broader context of pursuing economic openness and investment opportunities.
Evidence of progress toward concrete actions: While concrete bilateral agreements or joint programs have not been publicly disclosed, the Reuters report from December 2025 quotes Secretary Rubio praising Bolivia’s reforms and noting U.S. efforts to encourage investment. This suggests movement in the incentive structure toward tangible investment and economic cooperation, albeit without formalized, verifiable commitments announced in the public record.
Milestones and reliability: The February 2026 State Department release is a primary, official source confirming high-level intent but not binding actions. Reuters’ coverage provides independent corroboration that U.S.-Bolivia cooperation discussions are part of a broader reform trajectory in Bolivia and ongoing U.S. investment facilitation efforts. Taken together, the available sources indicate progress in dialogue and a conducive environment for future agreements, but no concrete milestones have been publicly verified yet.
Source reliability and incentives: The principal source is the U.S. State Department (official, contemporaneous readout). Reuters provides a corroborating, reputable independent perspective on U.S.-Bolivia economic engagement and the policy incentives behind the talks. The overall picture suggests ongoing diplomacy driven by Bolivia’s reform path and U.S. interest in investment and economic partnership, with incentives aligned toward concrete future actions rather than completed commitments at this time.
Update · Feb 11, 2026, 12:20 AMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. The official State Department readout confirms a high-level meeting and a stated interest in expanding cooperation, with Bolivia's Foreign Minister participating in the Secretary’s Critical Minerals Ministerial, signaling alignment on shared objectives. However, there is no public record as of Feb 10, 2026 of concrete, verifiable actions such as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs being launched.
The readout emphasizes Bolivia’s economic opening to the world and aims to advance economic growth, trade opportunities, and solutions to citizen security challenges posed by transnational crime. These are indicative goals rather than completed actions, and no binding commitments or signed documents have been publicly disclosed to meet the completion condition.
Media coverage beyond the official readout is sparse and includes analysis and speculation, but verifiable progress requires formal agreements or programs with clear milestones. At present, the available evidence points to ongoing diplomatic engagement rather than finalized bilateral mechanisms. The reliability of the core claim rests on an official account that describes intent rather than execution.
Key milestones to confirm progress would include publicly released text of any new bilateral agreement, MoU, or joint program, plus measurable timelines and participating agencies. Absent such documents, the status remains in the exploratory or planning phase. The balance of evidence supports continued monitoring for tangible actions rather than a completed outcome.
Source reliability is high for the stated meeting and intent due to the official State Department readout, but the absence of concrete actions means the claim cannot be rated complete. This assessment treats the situation as in_progress pending verifiable milestones or formal agreements.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 10:20 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. The most direct evidence is a February 4, 2026 State Department readout of Secretary Rubio’s meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo, which states both countries have a strong interest in expanding cooperation and notes Bolivia’s economic opening to the world (with Aramayo participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial). This establishes intent but not concrete actions.
Additional context suggests a favorable policy environment in Bolivia, with reporting around December 2025 highlighting Bolivian reforms intended to attract international investment. While this supports a broader incentive framework for cooperation, it does not document new bilateral agreements or joint programs with the United States as of early February 2026.
There is no publicly announced bilateral agreement, joint initiative, or formal program between the United States and Bolivia as of February 10, 2026. The available materials indicate diplomatic openness and high-level discussions, but completion conditions (e.g., new treaties or concrete cooperative initiatives) have not been publicly fulfilled yet.
Milestones or dates beyond the February 4 meeting are not documented in official
U.S. government releases or consistent, high-quality reporting to confirm a concrete action plan or implementation timeline. The current record shows intention and ongoing dialogue, with no verifiable completion claim at this time.
Reliability notes: the primary source is an official U.S. government readout, which is authoritative for stated intents but does not guarantee outcomes. Reuters corroborates broader Bolivian reform momentum but does not confirm specific U.S.–Bolivia cooperative initiatives. Taken together, the claim remains plausible but unproven in terms of concrete, verifiable progress by the current date.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 08:38 PMin_progress
Summary of the claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as stated in a February 4, 2026 State Department readout of Secretary Rubio's meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo.
Progress evidence: The State Department readout confirms both sides discussed expanding cooperation and Bolivia's economic opening, with Bolivian participation noted in the Secretary’s Critical Minerals Ministerial. A subsequent State Department item (February 5) indicates continued engagement at senior levels, but no new concrete bilateral agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs were announced publicly by February 10, 2026.
Status assessment: While the dialogue has continued and economic/trade/mineral cooperation is being framed as a priority, there is no verifiable record of concrete actions completed (e.g., new agreements or formal programs) within the observed window.
Milestones and dates: February 4, 2026 — initial meeting readout highlighting interest in expanding cooperation; February 5, 2026 — follow-up engagement; no published signings or agreements as of February 10, 2026. The broader climate includes Bolivia’s ongoing economic reforms and
U.S. emphasis on critical minerals, which may shape future steps (Reuters reporting on Bolivia reforms and U.S. stance on investment).
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 05:30 PMin_progress
Restatement of the claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, with senior officials signaling a shared aim to broaden ties.
Evidence of progress: On February 4, 2026, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo and stated a strong interest in expanding cooperation. Bolivia’s Foreign Ministry also publicly described the meeting as part of strengthening bilateral relations, and Aramayo participated in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, indicating collaboration in areas linked to economic openness and resource diplomacy.
Assessment of completion status: There are no publicly documented, verifiable actions by February 10, 2026 that constitute concrete agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs. The publicly available materials emphasize intent, framing cooperation as a growing agenda rather than final, binding commitments.
Dates and milestones: The key event is the February 4, 2026 meeting and Bolivia’s subsequent participation in the U.S. Critical Minerals Ministerial discussions. No announced treaties, MOUs, or formal programs have been reported in the sources accessed up to February 10, 2026.
Source reliability and caveats: The principal sources are the U.S. State Department readout and Bolivian Foreign Ministry communications, which are official and directly address the bilateral dialogue. While these indicate intent to expand cooperation, independent verification of specific actions or agreements remains limited as of the date examined. Given the incentives of the involved parties to emphasize progress, continued monitoring for substantive accords is warranted.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 03:31 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation during a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo. The readout emphasizes a shared aim to broaden cooperation, without detailing specific actions. The claim is credible in its framing of intent, not a confirmed agreement.
Evidence of progress: The State Department readout confirms the meeting occurred on February 4, 2026, and notes Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, which the administration frames as a context for broader economic and trade cooperation. This indicates alignment and incidental progress through multilateral forums, rather than standalone bilateral agreements. There is no public documentation of new pacts or formal programs at this stage.
Current status of completion: As of 2026-02-10, there are no publicly announced concrete bilateral actions (new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs) beyond the expressed interest and participation in related forums. The absence of signed documents or announced programs suggests the effort remains in the early, exploratory phase. News coverage and official releases available publicly do not show structured progress toward a binding or verifiable commitment.
Reliability and caveats: The primary source is an official State Department readout, which is a direct representation of the meeting and stated intentions. While official statements are authoritative about intent, they do not guarantee outcomes or binding commitments. Given the lack of additional corroborating public documents, progress should be considered potential and contingent on subsequent actions by either party.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 01:50 PMin_progress
The claim is that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Officially, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo discussed expanding cooperation, signaling a shared interest (State Department readout, 2026-02-04). Bolivian channels similarly reported a high-level meeting focused on strengthening the bilateral agenda and strategic cooperation (Cancillería de Bolivia, 2026-02-04).
Evidence thus far shows the two governments have engaged in high-level dialogue and language signaling openness to deeper ties, including economic and strategic cooperation, but no specific, verifiable agreements or joint programs have been announced as of the current date (State Department readout; Cancillería de Bolivia press release, 2026-02-04).
The completion condition—concrete, verifiable actions such as new agreements or joint programs—has not yet been met publicly. There are no published texts of bilateral accords or joint initiatives from these meetings, beyond general statements of intent and ongoing dialogue (State Department readout; Cancillería de Bolivia press release, 2026-02-04).
Key dates and milestones: February 4, 2026, meetings in
Washington,
D.C., and public statements of expanded cooperation; no subsequent milestones or agreements publicly documented by February 10, 2026. The reliability of sources is high for official statements (State Department; Bolivian Foreign Ministry).
Overall, the situation appears in_progress: both sides express mutual interest and have taken initial steps to broaden dialogue, but concrete, verifiable progress (agreements, programs, or joint initiatives) has not yet been demonstrated in publicly available records (State Department readout; Cancillería de Bolivia).
A focused follow-up on or after key negotiating rounds or the appearance of formal agreements would be necessary to move to a completed status.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 12:22 PMin_progress
Restatement of the claim: The article states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, highlighted by a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss this objective.
Evidence of progress so far: Public statements indicate a mutual interest and ongoing dialogue. The U.S. State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026) describes a discussion of expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, with Aramayo participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. A Bolivian Foreign Ministry release (Feb 4, 2026) frames the meeting as strengthening the bilateral agenda and deepening strategic cooperation, with emphasis on dialogue and joint areas of interest.
Assessment of completion status: There are no reported concrete actions yet (e.g., new agreements or joint programs) following the February 4 meetings. Both sides characterize the interaction as foundational and geared toward expanding cooperation, but no verifiable milestones or agreements have been publicly announced by February 10, 2026.
Source reliability and notes: The primary sources are the U.S. Department of State readout and the Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs press release, both official government outlets. These sources consistently describe intent and dialogue but do not provide binding commitments or dates for specific actions. The reporting aligns with a cautious, incremental approach to bilateral engagement rather than an immediate set of concrete measures.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 09:49 AMin_progress
Restated claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. The claim centers on a shared aspiration to broaden ties beyond existing engagement, as publicly voiced by senior officials.
Progress evidence: A State Department readout confirms Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo on February 4, 2026 to discuss expanding cooperation, with emphasis on Bolivia’s economic opening and collaboration on economic growth, trade opportunities, and security challenges. Aramayo’s attendance at the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial signals alignment with
U.S. priorities in minerals and investment diplomacy.
Completion status: There is no public record of concrete, verifiable actions completed between February 4 and February 9, 2026—such as new bilateral agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs. The readout describes intent and ongoing dialogue but does not announce specific measures or milestones.
Dates and milestones: Notable items include the February 4, 2026 meeting and Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial as a context for deepening cooperation. No additional dates for follow-up actions or conclusions have been disclosed publicly.
Reliability note: The primary source is an official State Department readout (official government communication), which is the most reliable public record for diplomatic statements. Secondary reporting from independent outlets has echoed the meeting but does not surface further verifiable actions at this time.
Update · Feb 10, 2026, 05:42 AMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public statements from both sides confirm a focus on broadening ties but stop short of detailing specific new agreements at the time of the meeting. The February 4, 2026 readouts documents indicate attention to economic openness, trade opportunities, and security cooperation as areas of mutual interest.
Evidence of progress includes a high-level meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo in
Washington,
D.C., in which both sides emphasized expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s opening to the world. The
U.S. side highlighted economic growth, trade opportunities, and addressing transnational crime as shared objectives. Bolivia’s MFA also framed the encounter as a milestone in strengthening bilateral diplomacy.
There is no concrete, verifiable completion yet—no new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs have been publicly announced since the meeting. Both the State Department readout and the Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs release describe intent and alignment but do not cite signed instruments or launched collaborative projects. The absence of a signed framework or scheduled milestones keeps the status at progress rather than completion.
Key dates and milestones identified: the meeting occurred on February 4, 2026, with subsequent press statements reaffirming the mutual interest in expanding cooperation. The sources reference ongoing dialogue and a shared path forward, but do not provide a timeline or commitments beyond intention and high-level collaboration. Until concrete actions emerge, the trajectory remains dependent on follow-up steps from both governments.
Source reliability is high for the core claim: both the U.S. State Department and Bolivia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs published official readouts of the meeting. These are primary sources that reflect the stated aims and framing from both governments, though they do not independently verify, quantify, or timeline specific outcomes. Given the lack of signed agreements to date, the assessment of progress is cautious and neutral, recognizing expressed intent without premature judgment.

The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public statements indicate the meeting focused on broadly enlarging cooperation rather than immediate concrete actions.
Evidence of progress includes a February 4, 2026 readout from the U.S. State Department noting the Secretary of State’s discussion with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo about expanding cooperation, with mentions of Bolivia’s economic openness and joint work on economic growth, trade opportunities, and citizen security.
Bolivian official sources describe the meeting as strengthening the bilateral agenda, emphasizing strategic cooperation, continued political dialogue, and joint work in areas of mutual interest. However, these statements stop short of announcing specific new agreements, programs, or formal initiatives.
Reliability: the primary sources are official government communications from the U.S. State Department and Bolivia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which are appropriate for tracking diplomatic progress. The absence of concrete agreements or timelines suggests the initiative remains in the exploratory/negotiation phase rather than completed actions.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 11:41 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public statements indicate the two sides discussed this objective during a February 4, 2026 meeting, emphasizing Bolivia’s economic opening to the world.
Evidence of progress so far is limited to official readouts noting mutual interest and participation in related forums; there are no reported concrete actions, such as new agreements or joint programs, as of the current date.
Thus, the completion condition—tangible, verifiable actions like agreements or formal initiatives—has not yet been met according to available public records.
A key milestone to watch is any subsequent signed agreements, memoranda of understanding, or formal cooperative programs announced by either side. The official State Department readout is a high-reliability source for diplomacy, though it describes intent rather than binding commitments at this stage.
Incentives for both governments appear aligned toward economic openness, trade opportunities, and security cooperation, but concrete steps remain to be announced or documented publicly. The overall assessment remains that progress is plausible but not complete as of 2026-02-09.

Progress evidence: The State Department readout confirms the meeting and states that both countries discussed a strong interest in expanding cooperation, with Bolivia’s economic opening to the world and participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial noted as context. This establishes intent but does not document concrete actions.
Current status: As of the current date, there are no publicly reported, verifiable actions such as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs stemming from this meeting. No subsequent bilateral milestones or follow-on agreements have been publicly disclosed.
Dates and milestones: The meeting occurred on February 4, 2026, with the readout published by the State Department. The absence of further announced milestones or commitments within the days that followed suggests the initiative remains at the interest/negotiation phase rather than completed actions.
Source reliability note: The primary source is the U.S. Department of State (official government channel), which provides a direct account of the meeting and stated aims. Supplementary coverage from other outlets references the same event or context but do not show additional verifiable actions at this time.

Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as reported after Secretary Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo (State Dept Readout, Feb 4, 2026).
Evidence of progress: Public State Department briefings indicate ongoing high-level engagement around cooperation, with Aramayo participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial which signals a shared focus on economic ties (State Dept Readout, Feb 4, 2026).
Follow-up engagements: A subsequent readout shows Deputy Secretary Landau meeting Aramayo in
Washington on Feb 5, 2026, outlining discussions to expand collaboration for economic prosperity and stronger commercial links (State Dept Readout, Feb 5, 2026).
What progress exists beyond statements: The record shows repeated dialogue and intent, but no publicly announced binding agreements, joint programs, or formal bilateral frameworks as of Feb 9, 2026.
Reliability and context: The sources are official U.S. State Department readouts, making them primary and reliable for this claim; secondary coverage is limited.
Overall assessment: The claim is supported by verifiable high-level meetings and stated objectives, but concrete, verifiable actions have not yet been publicly announced.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 05:29 PMin_progress
The claim is that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public statements indicate both sides saw value in broadening ties, particularly around economic opportunities and security cooperation (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).
Evidence of progress includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio meeting
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation, and Bolivia’s Foreign Minister participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. This signals a cooperative posture and potential alignment on energy/mineral supply-chain topics (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).
As of early February 2026, there are no publicly announced concrete agreements, formal programs, or joint initiatives to document a completed expansion. The available materials describe intent and discussions, not finalization of specific actions (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).
Reliability note: the primary source is the U.S. Department of State, which directly conveys the administration’s official stance and meeting outcomes. Independent corroboration from other high-quality outlets is limited for this exact event, though related coverage exists about Bolivian reforms and
U.S. engagement in the region (Reuters 2025-12; State readout 2026-02-04).
Follow-up: a targeted update on any new bilateral agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs should be pursued by 2026-12-31 to determine whether the promise has moved from stated intent to verifiable action.

The State Department readout emphasizes cooperation in economic growth, trade opportunities, citizen security, and Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, indicating an intent to broaden ties without detailing concrete agreements at this stage.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 01:51 PMin_progress
Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation during a meeting between Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo.
Progress evidence: A formal State Department readout confirms the February 4, 2026 meeting and notes a strong mutual interest in expanding cooperation, with emphasis on economic growth, trade opportunities, and countering transnational crime, and that Aramayo participated in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. Relatedly, a proposed extension of the cultural property agreement between the
U.S. and Bolivia was published in the Federal Register on January 26, 2026, signaling ongoing diplomatic engagements beyond public announcements.
Status of concrete actions: No new bilateral agreements or joint programs have been publicly announced as of February 9, 2026. The readout frames the discussion and intent to expand cooperation, but completion requires verifiable actions (e.g., new trade or security arrangements) that have not been publicly disclosed yet. Separate reporting highlights ongoing Bolivian reforms aimed at opening the economy, which could facilitate closer ties (Dec 2025 Reuters coverage).
Dates and milestones: February 4, 2026 — Secretary Rubio–Aramayo meeting; January 26, 2026 — proposed extension of the cultural property MOU with Bolivia; December 18, 2025 — U.S. welcoming Bolivian reforms encouraging investment (context for closer ties). These items show a trajectory toward deeper engagement, but no concrete, verifiable bilateral agreements have been announced by early February 2026.
Reliability note: The principal source is the U.S. State Department readout (official, contemporaneous account of the meeting). Additional context comes from the Federal Register entry on the cultural property agreement (official government document) and Reuters reporting on Bolivian reforms, providing corroboration of a reform-minded environment but not of specific new cooperation agreements.

The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation.
Public statements confirm a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world.
Evidence of progress includes the February 4, 2026 readout from the State Department noting the bilateral interest in expanding cooperation, and Bolivia’s foreign ministry describing the meeting as part of strengthening bilateral ties. The readout also notes Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, signaling alignment on shared economic and resource-priority goals.
There is no publicly available record yet of concrete, verifiable actions such as new treaties, joint initiatives, or formal programs arising from this meeting as of February 9, 2026. The available sources describe intent and discussions, not finalized agreements or programs.
Key dates and milestones so far: February 4, 2026—high-level meeting and public statements about expanding cooperation; incorporation into discussions around critical minerals and economic openness. Given the absence of signed agreements or announced joint initiatives, the status remains exploratory and indicative of intent rather than completed cooperation. Source reliability appears high (State Department readout and Bolivian official communications).
Note on reliability and incentives: The reporting outlets are primary government sources, which strengthens reliability for stated intents and official positions, though they do not confirm durable, verifiable actions yet. The incentive structure appears to favor advancing economic openness and security cooperation through formal agreements in the future.

The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, signaling a push toward stronger ties. Evidence shows progress in early diplomacy: Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo on February 4, 2026, with both sides emphasizing a strong interest in expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world (State Department readout) and Aramayo’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial (State readout). The State Department described this as a productive discussion focused on expanding cooperation, economic growth, trade opportunities, and addressing citizen security challenges from transnational crime. Additional reporting notes Bolivia has pursued reforms aimed at attracting investment, which the
U.S. has framed as supportive of broader engagement (Reuters reporting on Bolivian reforms, December 2025). Completion status: there are no announced new agreements or formal programs as of now; the progress is limited to high-level meetings and expressed intent, with concrete steps to be determined in subsequent negotiations. Reliability note: the primary source confirming the meeting and stated intent is the U.S. State Department, which provides an official account of the discussion and its aims; independent corroboration is limited to subsequent coverage of Bolivian reforms and related diplomatic engagement (Reuters, ANF, and other outlets).

Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, signaling a shared intent to deepen ties across economic, security, and political domains.
Evidence of progress exists in a high-level meeting on February 4, 2026, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world (State Department readout). Bolivia’s Foreign Ministry framed the encounter as a step in fortifying a bilateral agenda, emphasizing a high-level commitment to strategic cooperation and dialogue (Bolivia Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores press release).
Additional context shows ongoing work toward concrete cooperation, with references to expanding economic growth, trade opportunities, and security-related collaboration via joint efforts and dialogue (State Department readout; Bolivian press release). However, as of 2026-02-08, there are no publicly announced, bindable agreements, treaties, or formal programs publicly confirmed as completed, only a stated intent to advance cooperation and pursue shared initiatives.
Milestones and dates: the February 4, 2026 meeting provides the primary dated milestone; subsequent reporting through early February highlights continued diplomatic engagement but does not specify signed agreements or launched programs. The evidence supports continued intent and ongoing discussions rather than final, verifiable actions completed. Reliability: sources are official government communications from the U.S. State Department and Bolivia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which reflect positions and formal statements; cross-checking with independent outlets around that date corroborates the general framing but shows no binding agreements yet.

The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public reporting confirms a February 4, 2026 meeting in which Secretary of State Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo discussed expanding cooperation, including Bolivia’s economic opening to the world. The State Department readout notes high-level alignment and participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, but provides no concrete, verifiable actions yet.
Update · Feb 09, 2026, 01:12 AMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public statements from February 4, 2026, show both sides emphasizing a strong interest in broader cooperation, with the
U.S. noting Bolivia’s economic opening and participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial (Feb 4, 2026; State Department readout). Bolivia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs likewise highlighted Bolivia’s active engagement in international forums, including the Critical Minerals Ministerial, to advance dialogue, cooperation, and strategic partnerships (Feb 4, 2026; Cancillería de Bolivia).
Progress to date appears to be at the level of high-level signals and diplomatic participation rather than formal, verifiable bilateral arrangements. The State Department readout references expanding cooperation and economic/trade opportunities, but does not report concrete bilateral agreements, memoranda of understanding, or joint programs with Bolivia as a direct outcome of the meeting. Bolivia’s statement confirms engagement in international fora and a shared interest in cooperation, but no bilateral framework actions are publicly documented yet.
Evidence of concrete milestones is limited. The most tangible items are Bolivia’s participation in the Critical Minerals Ministerial and public statements about pursuing cooperation, with discussions focusing on economic growth, trade opportunities, citizen security, and supply-chain resilience in minerals (State Dept. readout; Cancillería).
Key dates and milestones include the February 4, 2026 meeting and Bolivia’s subsequent participation in the Critical Minerals Ministerial in
Washington,
D.C. both sides describe as progress toward deeper cooperation; however, these steps are exploratory and procedural rather than completion of a defined bilateral initiative (State Dept. readout; Cancillería).
Overall, the situation shows continued momentum and mutual interest in expanding cooperation, but the available public records as of February 8, 2026 indicate progress remains at the exploratory and dialogic stage rather than a completed or verifiable bilateral program. If bilateral agreements or joint initiatives are announced, they would mark a transition from “interest” to “completed” progress for the claim. The incentives for both sides—economic opening for Bolivia and strategic collaboration for the United States—suggest a continued push toward formalizing cooperation in the coming months.

Claim restated:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as stated by the State Department readout of a February 4, 2026 meeting. The readout confirms a shared aim to broaden cooperation and notes
Bolivian participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, signaling openness to economic engagement (State Dept readout, 2026-02-04).
Evidence of progress: The February 4, 2026 meeting itself indicates ongoing high-level engagement and a stance in favor of expanding ties, including Bolivian involvement in economic diplomacy initiatives. Reuters and other outlets likewise describe Bolivia pursuing reforms and openness to investment, which can facilitate deeper ties, though these reports are more indirect about concrete bilateral steps (Reuters, 2025-12-18; CRS briefing, 2025-12-17).
Assessment of completion status: There are no announced or publicly verified agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs as of the current date. The available materials show intent and ongoing dialogue but do not confirm concrete milestones or signed instruments completing the promised expansion (State Dept readout, 2026-02-04).
Dates and milestones: Notable items include the February 4, 2026 secretary-level meeting and Bolivia’s participation in the Critical Mineral Ministerial, which provide a framework for future cooperation but no fixed completion date. Additional reporting in late 2025 notes Bolivian reforms and high-level exchanges that could enable later formal arrangements (Reuters, 2025-12-18; CRS briefing, 2025-12-17).
Source reliability note: The principal source is an official State Department readout, which is authoritative for the claim and its framing. Coverage from Reuters and CRS adds context about Bolivia’s reform trajectory and broader U.S.-Bolivia relations, but neither confirms binding agreements yet, reinforcing the classification of progress as ongoing rather than complete (State Dept readout, 2026-02-04; Reuters, 2025-12-18; CRS briefing, 2025-12-17).
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 09:00 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public acknowledgment stems from a State Department briefing dated February 4, 2026, noting that Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss this expansion of cooperation.
Evidence of progress is limited to the documented meeting and expressed intentions; there are no publicly announced concrete actions (such as new agreements or joint initiatives) as of the current date. The completion condition—concrete, verifiable actions by both sides—is therefore not yet fulfilled.
Reliability of sources is high, with the primary reference being an official State Department release. Absence of further corroborating actions suggests the claim remains in the early-stage discussion phase rather than a completed bilateral program.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 07:34 PMin_progress
Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as stated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo.
Evidence of progress: The State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026) confirms a discussion of expanding cooperation and notes Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, with Aramayo participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial.
Evidence of status: There are no announced concrete agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs as of the latest public record. The completion condition—verifiable actions such as new agreements or programs—has not been met yet; the communication signals intent but stops short of binding commitments.
Dates and milestones: The primary source is the February 4, 2026 readout from the U.S. State Department. Subsequent public updates or new bilateral actions have not been documented in major, reputable outlets within the provided timeframe.
Source reliability and incentives: The cited source is an official
U.S. government readout from the State Department, which is a primary and reliable record of statements and intended direction. Given Bolivia’s participation in a multilateral minerals initiative, the incentive structure suggests a potential but non-binding trajectory toward expanded cooperation, with concrete steps likely to appear in future bilateral releases or agreements if pursued.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 05:00 PMin_progress
Claim restated:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation during a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo on February 4, 2026. The readout emphasizes a shared goal of broadening cooperation, with the
U.S. supporting Bolivia’s economic opening and Bolivia participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial (CMM).
Progress evidence: Publicly available U.S. and Bolivian statements confirm ongoing engagement and a shared interest in cooperation expansion. Bolivia’s participation in the Critical Minerals Ministerial (Feb 4, 2026,
Washington,
D.C.) and its stated aim to position Bolivia as a dialogue partner on minerals indicate active diplomatic engagement and bilateral topic alignment (State Dept readout; Bolivian MFA statement).
Progress assessment: As of February–early February 2026, there is clear diplomatic signaling and participation in a multilateral forum, but there are no publicly announced concrete bilateral agreements, MOUs, or formal programs between the United States and Bolivia by the completion date. The completion condition requires verifiable actions such as new agreements or joint initiatives, which are not yet publicly documented in the available sources.
Dates and milestones: February 4, 2026 – Secretary Rubio meets Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation (State Dept readout). February 2026 – Bolivian officials participate in the Critical Minerals Ministerial in Washington, signaling ongoing high-level engagement (Bolivia MFA report). No signed bilateral agreement is publicly reported to date.
Source reliability note: Primary information comes from the U.S. State Department readout and the Bolivian Foreign Ministry’s public summary of participation in the Critical Minerals Ministerial. Both are official government sources and appropriate for establishing the presence of dialogue and participation, though they do not document a concrete bilateral agreement yet.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 03:10 PMin_progress
The claim is that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. The public record shows a February 4, 2026 State Department readout in which Secretary Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, with emphasis on economic growth, trade opportunities, and security challenges related to transnational crime. As of the current date, there is no publicly announced, concrete bilateral action (such as a new treaty, joint initiative, or formal program) that has been completed or officially launched.
The available evidence suggests the conversation was a start toward broadening ties and aligning on shared interests in areas like trade, investment, and security, but it does not document any binding commitments or milestones. The readout notes Bolivian participation in the Secretary’s Critical Minerals Ministerial, which signals ongoing high-level engagement on certain policy areas, but again stops short of describing concrete new agreements.
In terms of milestones, no new bilateral agreements or formal programs have been publicly announced to date. The most actionable item identified publicly is continued dialogue and participation in multilateral forums that touch on shared interests. The reliability of the core source is high (official State Department readout); there are no independent, corroborating reports of completed actions as of now.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 01:27 PMin_progress
Restatement of claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, with discussions centered on economic openness, trade opportunities, and security cooperation.
Progress evidence: A February 4, 2026 State Department readout confirms Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation, including Bolivia’s economic opening and participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial; the dialogue also highlighted shared interest in addressing transnational crime-related security challenges.
Current status: There are no reported concrete agreements, joint programs, or formal bilateral mechanisms announced as a result of this meeting. The publicly available accounts describe intent and ongoing discussions rather than signed commitments.
Dates and milestones: The key milestone is the February 4, 2026 meeting and the mention of Bolivia’s participation in the Critical Mineral Ministerial; no subsequent, verifiable actions (agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs) have been publicly documented to date. Source reliability: The primary facts come from the U.S. State Department readout (official government source) and corroborating Bolivian/
Latin American press coverage; the state source is high credibility for diplomatic communications, while third-party outlets vary in depth and framing.
Follow-up note: Monitor for any new bilateral agreements, memoranda of understanding, or formal programs announced by the State Department or Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the months following February 2026.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 12:01 PMin_progress
What the claim states:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as evidenced by a meeting where both sides discussed broader collaboration prospects. The readout emphasizes shared interest rather than finalized agreements.
Evidence progress: The State Department readout confirms a February 4, 2026 meeting between Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo, noting Bolivia’s economic opening to the world and their participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. This establishes a formal, in-person interaction and a clear mutual interest in expanding ties, but does not cite concrete new agreements at that time.
Progress toward completion: As of February 8, 2026, there are no announced concrete, verifiable actions (such as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs) tied to this specific meeting. Publicly available reporting shows intentions and discussions, not the completion of bilateral measures.
Dates and milestones: The primary milestone is the February 4, 2026 meeting. The State Department readout also references Bolivia’s engagement in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, which provides contextual momentum, but no follow-up actions with measurable milestones have been publicly disclosed.
Source reliability note: The principal source is the U.S. Department of State’s official readout, which is a primary and authoritative account of the meeting and stated aims. Supplemental coverage from Reuters regarding Bolivia’s reform trajectory in late 2025 provides context for the broader environment but does not itself confirm new cooperation actions.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 09:47 AMin_progress
Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation.
Progress evidence: On February 4, 2026, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo in
Washington,
D.C., to discuss expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, with Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial noted. Bolivia’s foreign ministry described the meeting as a high-level exchange focused on strengthening strategic cooperation, political dialogue, and joint work on common interests.
Current status of completion: While the meetings and public statements signal political will and ongoing dialogue, there are no reported concrete, verifiable actions (such as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs) finalized or announced at this time. The coverage emphasizes intent and agenda-setting rather than signed instruments or implemented programs.
Reliability and context: Primary sources include the U.S. State Department readout and Bolivia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs release, both official and timely, which strengthens credibility. The absence of concrete agreements in the available releases suggests progress remains at the diplomatic/negotiation stage rather than closure, consistent with early-stage cooperation expansions.

Claim restated:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation during a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo. The readout explicitly notes a shared interest in expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world (State Dept readout, Feb 4, 2026).
Evidence of progress: A follow-up State Department briefing on Feb 4, 2026 confirms the meeting and highlights that the two governments discussed expanding economic prosperity, trade opportunities, and security cooperation, including Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial (State Dept readout, Feb 4, 2026). A separate State Department note about Deputy Secretary Landau’s meetings with Bolivian officials also references efforts to broaden U.S.–Bolivia collaboration in economic and commercial domains (State Dept, Feb 2026).
Completion status: As of Feb 7, 2026, there are no publicly disclosed concrete agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs announced. The situation shows intent and initial discussions, but no verifiable, binding actions have been publicly released to meet the completion condition.
Dates and milestones: The principal milestone publicly documented is the Feb 4, 2026 meeting and the reference to Bolivia’s participation in the Critical Mineral Ministerial during that engagement. No subsequent signed agreements or lasting programs have been confirmed in available official releases or major reporting.
Reliability note: The primary sourcing is official
U.S. government statements (State Department readouts), which provide direct confirmation of the intent to expand cooperation but offer limited detail on binding commitments. Coverage from independent outlets is sparse in this timeframe, so conclusions rely on official messaging and its accompanying context (State Dept readouts, Feb 2026).

Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as stated by Secretary Rubio during a meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo. The readout emphasizes a shared focus on expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world.
Evidence of progress: The State Department readout notes that Aramayo participated in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, and that both sides discussed expanding cooperation across economic growth, trade opportunities, and security issues related to transnational crime. This indicates continued diplomatic engagement and movement toward broader ties, rather than a completed agreement.
Status of completion: There are no new or formal bilateral agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs announced as of the current date. The description suggests intent and ongoing discussion, but no verifiable, concrete actions have been publicly announced to fulfill the completion condition.
Dates and milestones: The meeting occurred on February 4, 2026, with emphasis on Bolivia’s economic opening and participation in multilateral mineral dialogues. There is no projected completion date; progress would be measured by subsequent concrete agreements or programs, which have not yet been reported.
Update · Feb 08, 2026, 01:21 AMin_progress
Summary of the claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, with public remarks noting a strong desire to broaden engagement. The initial meeting between Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo was framed as a productive step toward deeper ties (State Department readout, 2026-02-04). Bolivian authorities likewise described the discussions as advancing a bilateral agenda and strengthening high-level cooperation (Cancillería Bolivia, 2026-02-04).
What was promised: Both sides signaled a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, emphasizing economic engagement, security cooperation, and shared priorities in area-specific initiatives.
Evidence of progress: Public readouts indicate a productive high-level meeting and a reinforced intention to deepen dialogue, with emphasis on strategic cooperation and economic opportunities (State Department readout, 2026-02-04; Cancillería Bolivia, 2026-02-04).
Current status: There are no announced concrete agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs completed yet. The available statements describe intentions and ongoing dialogue rather than finalized actions (State Department readout, 2026-02-04; Cancillería Bolivia, 2026-02-04).
Milestones and dates: The February 4, 2026 meetings in
Washington,
D.C. are the public milestone to date; no later milestones or completion dates have been published. Future updates would likely hinge on new accords, memoranda, or joint activities (State Department readout; Cancillería Bolivia).
Conclusion: Based on current publicly available records, the claim remains in_progress, as the parties have voiced intent and held high-level discussions without a verifiable completion of new agreements or programs.

Claim restated:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, following Secretary Rubio's meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo. Public records confirm the stated interest and Bolivia's participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial.
Evidence of progress: The State Department readout notes the discussion of expanding cooperation and notes a shared interest in economic openness, signaling alignment on broader priorities (State Dept readout, 2026-02-04). No separate public document shows new agreements or formal programs launched from that meeting.
Current status: While there is expressed intent to broaden cooperation, there are no verifiable, concrete bilateral actions announced (e.g., new treaties or joint initiatives) as of now. The completion condition (concrete, verifiable actions) has not yet been demonstrated.
Reliability note: The principal source is an official State Department readout, which provides the official account of the meeting. Independent reporting mirrors the general claim but does not establish binding commitments without additional government disclosures.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 09:05 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public statements confirm the declared interest, notably a February 4, 2026 Office of the Spokesperson readout of Secretary Rubio’s meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo, which emphasized shared interest in expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).
Evidence of progress includes high-level engagement and continued dialogue, with subsequent discussions involving Bolivian and
U.S. officials in the months around late 2025, including diverse U.S. officials meeting Bolivian counterparts in
Washington (e.g., December 2025 readouts about meetings between Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo and U.S. officials). These events indicate ongoing diplomatic engagement, but they do not specify concrete agreements or programs (Reuters 2025-12-18; State Department 2026-02-04).
There is no public record yet of concluded bilateral agreements, formal programs, or joint initiatives as of early February 2026. The available sources describe intent and continued talks rather than binding commitments or verifiable actions completed. This aligns with the completion condition’s requirement for concrete, verifiable actions to expand cooperation, which have not been publicly announced (State Department readout; Reuters 2025-12-18).
Key dates and milestones include the February 4, 2026 Secretary Rubio-Aramayo meeting and the prior December 2025 exchanges between Bolivian officials and U.S. counterparts. While these signal a recalibration of bilateral ties, they function as negotiations and planning steps rather than finalized actions (State Department readout; Reuters 2025-12-18).
Source reliability is high for the core claim, with official State Department statements providing direct attribution to the participants and purpose of the talks. Coverage from Reuters adds independent corroboration of Bolivia’s reform posture and U.S. enthusiasm for engagement, though neither source reports binding outcomes at this stage. Overall, the situation remains in_progress rather than complete or failed.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 07:26 PMin_progress
Restatement of the claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as stated after a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo. The public readout highlighted a shared aim to broaden economic growth, trade opportunities, and security collaboration. It also noted Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, signaling alignment on economic openness and minerals governance (State Dept readout, 2026-02-04).
Evidence of progress: The readout confirms a bilateral focus but does not document new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs as a concrete outcome from the meeting. The reference to Bolivia’s involvement in the Critical Mineral Ministerial indicates alignment on mineral supply-chain issues and economic openness, which could underpin future cooperation, but no specific milestones are listed (State Dept readout, 2026-02-04).
Current status and completion prospects: There is an explicit intention to expand cooperation, yet no verifiable actions have been announced as of now. Without announced agreements or programs, the claim remains aspirational rather than completed, though the dialogue itself represents a potential first step toward formalized cooperation (State Dept readout, 2026-02-04).
Milestones and dates: The primary dated item is the February 4, 2026 meeting and the Bolivian minister’s participation in the Critical Minerals Ministerial. No subsequent dates or concrete milestones have been publicly reported to date that confirm new treaties, memoranda of understanding, or joint initiatives (State Dept readout, 2026-02-04).
Source reliability note: The State Department readout is an official government source, providing a direct account of the meeting and stated intentions. While it confirms diplomatic engagement and shared interests, it does not substantiate concrete actions, making the reported progress cautiously characterized as in_progress at this time.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 04:57 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. This was publicly stated by the U.S. Department of State in a readout of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo on February 4, 2026, noting their shared interest in expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world.
The available evidence confirms that the two sides acknowledged a desire to broaden ties and cited concrete contexts such as economic growth, trade opportunities, and responses to transnational crime as areas of potential cooperation. The State Department readout also mentions Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, which frames cooperation within tangible policy dialogues.
As of February 7, 2026, there is no public, independently verifiable report of a concrete, verifiable action to operationalize the expansion (e.g., a new bilateral agreement, joint initiative, or formal program). No subsequent announcements or documented milestones have appeared in major, reputable outlets to confirm progress beyond the initial expressed interest.
The readout provides the initial date and context for the claimed interest (February 4, 2026), and identifies intended focus areas; however, it does not specify follow-on actions or a completion timeline. Without publicly announced agreements or programs, the claim remains at the stage of stated interest rather than completed cooperation.
Reliability notes: the primary source is the U.S. State Department, an official government source describing a high-level discussion and intent. For corroboration, in-language reporting from other high-quality outlets would be helpful, but none with concrete actions has been identified to date. Given the incentives for both sides to signal openness, the claim’s progression hinges on future, verifiable steps.

Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, with a meeting between Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo signaling a shared agenda to broaden ties.
Progress evidence: The State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026) confirms discussions on expanding cooperation, Bolivia’s economic opening, and
U.S. interest in joint economic growth, trade opportunities, and anti-transnational-crime efforts; the ministers also participated in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, indicating alignment around minerals and related cooperation.
Current status vs completion: As of early February 2026, there were public statements of intent and ongoing engagement, but no public release of new bilateral agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs. A Reuters report (Dec 18, 2025) described U.S. support for Bolivia’s reforms aimed at attracting international investment, suggesting a favorable environment for future cooperation, but not a concrete agreement yet.
Reliability note: The principal publicly available evidence comes from the U.S. State Department readout (official), reinforced by Reuters coverage of Bolivian reforms and U.S. reaction. Given the absence of signed agreements in public records, the claim remains plausible but not yet verifiably completed; progress appears to be in the negotiation/engagement phase with concrete steps likely to follow if reforms continue to attract investment (State Dept readout; Reuters 2025-12-18).

Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo discussed this shared interest during a meeting on February 4, 2026, with the
U.S. side highlighting economic opening and broader cooperation (State Department readout, 2026-02-04). The readout notes Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial and frames the partnership around economic growth, trade opportunities, and countering transnational crime. There is no mention of specific, verifiable actions or formal agreements being announced at that time (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).

The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public statements describe a meeting where both sides discussed ways to broaden engagement and economic ties. The article notes a shared interest rather than a completed plan.
Evidence of progress includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio meeting
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo on February 4, 2026, with references to Bolivia’s economic opening and participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. The readout emphasizes a bilateral intent to advance economic growth, trade opportunities, and security challenges related to transnational crime, but does not cite specific new agreements or programs.
There is no evidence yet of concrete, verifiable actions such as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs. The source material provides a stated interest and a diplomatic meeting as a step in the dialogue, but no completion or milestone dates are announced. Therefore, the completion condition (concrete actions) remains unfulfilled at this time.
Dates and milestones available: February 4, 2026, the date of the meeting and the State Department readout. The absence of subsequent follow-up dates or announced agreements suggests the process is in an early stage. Ongoing reporting should track any new bilateral initiatives or signed arrangements in the months ahead.
Source reliability: the primary cited source is an official U.S. State Department readout, which is a high-quality, primary source for diplomatic engagements. Secondary outlets referenced in search results vary in editorial quality; cross-checking with Bolivian government statements or embassy releases would strengthen corroboration. Overall, the reported information is credible for describing the current status of bilateral discussions, not a finalized commitment.
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 10:22 AMin_progress
Restatement of the claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, including economic growth, trade opportunities, and addressing citizen security challenges.
Evidence of progress: A February 4, 2026 State Department readout notes Secretary Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo and discussed expanding cooperation, with emphasis on Bolivia’s open economy and the Secretary’s participation in the Critical Mineral Ministerial. The readout frames the dialogue as ongoing and aspirational rather than concluding with new agreements.
Completion status: As of February 6, 2026, there is no publicly verifiable evidence of a signed agreement, formal program, or binding commitment. The existing material indicates intention and continued engagement, not finalized actions. The absence of specific milestones suggests the effort remains in a planning/negotiation phase.
Dates and milestones: Key public marker is the February 4, 2026 meeting and the Bolivian angle on economic opening, with Bolivia’s involvement in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral initiatives. No subsequent, verifiable bilateral agreements or joint initiatives have been reported in the public record up to February 6, 2026.
Source reliability and note on incentives: The core source is the U.S. State Department’s official readout, which is high-reliability for diplomatic engagements but represents the communicating side’s framing. Given potential incentives to portray a positive trajectory, the absence of concrete actions in independent outlets supports the cautious conclusion of ongoing but not completed progress.

The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. The State Department readout confirms that Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo and discussed a strong interest in expanding cooperation, alongside Bolivia’s economic opening to the world. It notes support for economic growth, trade opportunities, and addressing citizen security challenges from transnational crime, but does not document concrete actions yet. The statement implies a shared intent but provides no specifics on binding steps or deadlines at that time (February 4, 2026).
Update · Feb 07, 2026, 03:56 AMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. A State Department readout from February 4, 2026, confirms Secretary Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss this strong interest and to note Bolivia’s economic opening as part of the Secretary’s wider engagement on critical minerals.
As of the current date (February 6, 2026), there are no publicly announced, verifiable new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs signed between the two governments. The available evidence shows continued high-level dialogue and alignment on broad objectives (economic growth, trade opportunities, and security cooperation), but no completed cooperation package has been disclosed.
Context from additional reputable reporting suggests Bolivia has been pursuing and implementing reforms to attract foreign investment, which
U.S. officials welcomed in December 2025. Reuters reported that Rubio praised Bolivia’s reform effort and that U.S. officials were engaging in talks to facilitate investment, but no concrete bilateral agreement or program was announced at that time.
Reliability notes: the primary source for the stated mutual interest is the State Department readout (official U.S. government source). Reuters coverage offers independent corroboration of broader U.S.–Bolivia engagement and reform context, but neither source yet records a specific, verifiable bilateral agreement or program as of 2026-02-06.

The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. A February 4, 2026 State Department readout confirms that Secretary Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation and to note Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, with Bolivia participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. Additional context from late-2025 coverage notes Bolivia pursuing reforms aimed at encouraging international investment, signaling a broader climate favorable to deeper ties.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 10:34 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation.
This reflects an intent described by
U.S. officials rather than a completed set of actions, and it centers on broad objectives in economics, trade, and security.
Public reporting confirms a February 4, 2026 meeting where Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo discussed expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, with Bolivia participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial.
There is no record of concrete actions such as new agreements or joint programs announced in connection with this meeting as of the current date.
Thus, progress appears to be in the exploratory, high-level discussion phase rather than finalized commitments or implementations.
If future updates announce binding accords or launched initiatives, those would constitute measurable progress toward the stated expansion of cooperation.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 08:11 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. A State Department readout from February 4, 2026 confirms that Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss both countries’ strong interest in expanding cooperation, indicating an intent to broaden ties rather than a completed agreement.
Evidence of progress shows the two sides engaging in dialogue and Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, with the readout noting
U.S. support for Bolivia’s economic opening to the world and a focus on economic growth, trade opportunities, and citizen-security solutions. This signals initial alignment and potential areas for cooperation, rather than concrete actions.
There is no public record of a completed bilateral agreement, formal program, or joint initiative as of the current date. The completion condition—concrete, verifiable actions such as new agreements or programs—has not been met yet, based on available official readouts and subsequent disclosures.
Dates and milestones identified include the meeting on February 4, 2026, and Bolivia’s participation in the Critical Mineral Ministerial event referenced in the readout. Given the absence of specific commitments or signed instruments, source reliability appears high (official State Department communications), but the claim remains contingent on future, verifiable actions. If new agreements or programs are announced, they should be documented by the State Department or Bolivian government communications.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 05:18 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. This was publicly conveyed by a Secretary of State readout stating both countries have a strong interest in expanding cooperation during a meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo on February 4, 2026. The phrasing emphasizes intent to broaden relations rather than announcing specific programs at that time. Source: State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026).
Evidence of progress appears in the details of the meeting: the
U.S. side expressed support for Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, and Bolivia’s Foreign Minister participated in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. The readout frames the discussion around economic growth, trade opportunities, and addressing citizen security challenges related to transnational crime. These elements indicate ongoing bilateral dialogue and shared interest, but not yet concrete, verifiable actions. Source: State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026).
Regarding whether the promise has been completed, remains in progress, or was canceled: as of the current date, there are no announced bilateral agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs publicly reported as completed. The available official account highlights intent and ongoing dialogue rather than signed commitments. Therefore, the completion condition—concrete, verifiable actions like new agreements or formal programs—has not been met yet. Source: State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026).
Dates and milestones available include the meeting date (February 4, 2026) and Bolivia’s participation in the Critical Mineral Ministerial alongside U.S. partners. The readout does not provide a projected completion date for any new cooperative actions. Absent follow-up announcements detailing signed arrangements, the trajectory remains at the planning and negotiation stage. Source: State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026).
Reliability of sources: the primary source is the U.S. Department of State’s official readout, a direct and authoritative record of the meeting and stated intents. Secondary replication appears in other outlets that summarize the same readout, but these reflect the official statement rather than independent verification of actions. Given the official nature of the source, the report’s basis is sound for assessing stated intent and early stages of cooperation. Source: State Department readout; corroborating summaries (Feb 4, 2026).
Follow-up note: to assess whether progress materializes into concrete actions, monitor State Department announcements or Bolivian government releases for new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs. A reasonable follow-up date would be six to twelve months from the initial meeting to capture any substantive developments. If no new actions are announced by then, the assessment would likely shift toward 'in_progress' with clearer evidence of stalled or incremental steps.

Claim restated:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation.
Evidence of progress: A February 4, 2026 State Department readout confirms Secretary of State Marco Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss expanding cooperation, with mention of Bolivia’s economic opening and cooperation on economic growth, trade opportunities, and security challenges related to transnational crime. Aramayo’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial is noted, signaling alignment around commodity diplomacy.
Progress status: While the meeting signals high-level intent to deepen ties, there are no publicly announced concrete agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs as of February 6, 2026. The readout emphasizes discussions and shared interests rather than specific, verifiable actions completed.
Dates and milestones: The primary milestone is the February 4, 2026 meeting and the ensuing emphasis on expanding cooperation, plus Bolivia’s attendance at the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. No subsequent bilateral agreements or formalized programs have been disclosed in the accessible record.
Source reliability: The overarching claim rests on an official State Department readout, which is a primary and reliable source for
U.S. diplomacy. Independent corroboration from high-quality outlets has not surfaced to confirm concrete actions beyond discussions; other reports reference related economic openness and reforms but do not document binding commitments between the two governments.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 01:39 PMin_progress
Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, signaling a forward-looking agenda for enhanced economic, trade, and security collaboration.
Evidence of progress: On February 4, 2026, the State Department readout of Secretary Rubio’s meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo stated a strong interest in expanding cooperation and noted Bolivia’s economic opening to the world as part of the context for collaboration (readout, State Department). A subsequent Deputy Secretary of State meeting on February 5, 2026, between Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau and Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo, with Bolivia’s Minister of Mining, reiterated plans to expand U.S.–Bolivia collaboration on economic prosperity and to strengthen commercial ties (readout, State Department).
Current status relative to completion condition: There have been explicit commitments to pursue concrete, verifiable actions (e.g., new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs) but no final agreements or programs have been announced publicly as of 2026-02-06. The public record shows ongoing high-level diplomatic engagement and intent to advance cooperation, which fits an in-progress status rather than a completed milestone.
Dates and milestones: February 4, 2026 (Rubio–Aramayo meeting readout) and February 5, 2026 (Landau–Aramayo meeting readout) establish a recent, parallel track of engagement focused on economic prosperity and expanded trade. The absence of a dated completion milestone or announced agreements suggests continued negotiation rather than closure at this stage.
Source reliability and incentives: The sources are official State Department readouts, which are primary and authoritative for
U.S. government positions and actions. These briefings emphasize economic opening, trade opportunities, and combating transnational crime, reflecting policy incentives to broaden bilateral ties while aligning with Bolivia’s economic reforms and mining sector considerations. Given these official statements, the reporting is likely to reflect genuine but unfolding diplomatic progress rather than a finalized deal.
Follow-up note: To monitor progress, a targeted follow-up around 2026-06-30 could capture whether any concrete agreements or joint initiatives have been publicly announced, and whether new programs have been launched in the bilateral agenda.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 12:26 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public statements confirm the two governments discussed expanding cooperation, with Secretary Rubio meeting
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo and signaling a shared interest in economic growth, trade opportunities, and security cooperation (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).
Evidence of progress exists in the form of high-level discussions and Bolivia’s participation in related
U.S. diplomatic forums, such as the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, which the State Department frames as part of advancing bilateral and regional collaboration (State Department readout, 2026-02-04; Critical Minerals Ministerial coverage, 2026-02).
As of now, there are no publicly announced concrete bilateral agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs between the United States and Bolivia resulting from this specific engagement. The public record shows sustained dialogue and intent, but no verifiable, signed actions to date (State Department releases, 2026-02-04; related ministerial materials, 2026-02).
Key milestones to watch would include any bilateral MOUs, trade facilitation measures, or coordinated initiatives in sectors highlighted by officials (economic growth, trade opportunities, citizen security) with defined timelines. At present, the available sources frame progress as ongoing discussions rather than completed commitments (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).
Reliability note: the primary sources are official U.S. government statements from the State Department, which reliably reflect the stance and stated intentions of both governments, though they provide limited detail on concrete outcomes beyond communications and forum participation (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).

Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as stated after Secretary Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo.
Evidence of progress: The State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026) confirms a meeting occurred and notes a shared interest in expanding cooperation, with emphasis on Bolivia’s economic opening and cooperation on economic growth, trade opportunities, and citizen security challenges posed by transnational crime.
Assessment of completion: There is no public announcement of concrete, verifiable actions (such as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs) as of the current date. The readout describes intent and ongoing discussions but does not report signed agreements or implemented programs.
Reliability and context: The source is an official State Department press readout, which is appropriate for verifying diplomatic engagements and stated intentions. Given the absence of concrete milestones or documents, the claim remains aspirational rather than completed, and future follow-up would be needed to confirm formal actions.
Update · Feb 06, 2026, 05:24 AMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. The February 4, 2026 State Department readout confirms Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo discussed their “strong interest in expanding cooperation” and noted Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, with Bolivian participation in the Secretary’s Critical Minerals Ministerial as a context for deeper engagement. This establishes intent but not a completed package of actions (State readout, 2026-02-04).
Evidence of progress includes the framing of expanded cooperation as a shared objective and the involvement of Bolivian officials in
U.S. discussions on critical minerals, suggesting a joint agenda rather than a single binding agreement. The State Department also highlights potential areas such as economic growth, trade opportunities, and citizen-security collaboration, which could underpin future concrete steps (State readout, 2026-02-04).
There is no public record yet of a signed bilateral agreement, joint initiative, or formal program as a completed milestone. While the readout signals intent and ongoing dialogue, verifiable, concrete actions—such as a new bilateral treaty, framework agreement, or joint project—have not been publicly announced. Analysts should monitor for subsequent announcements from the State Department or Bolivian government (State readout, 2026-02-04).
Relevant dates and milestones to watch include any forthcoming bilateral accords, official visit outcomes, or joint ministerial statements tied to trade, investment, or security cooperation. The February 2026 critical minerals ministerial activity and Bolivian participation indicate one potential path for concrete cooperation, but a completion remains unconfirmed (State readout, 2026-02-04; related Critical Minerals Ministerial materials, 2026-02-02/04).

Claim restated:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as indicated by a February 2026 meeting between the
U.S. Secretary of State and Bolivia’s foreign minister. Evidence available: Reuters reported that the U.S. welcomed Bolivia’s December 2025 economic reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy and encouraging investment, which could enable broader ties (Reuters, 2025-12-18). The State Department also publicly stated that Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo discussed a strong interest in expanding cooperation (State Department, 2026-02-04). Evidence of progress: there are high-level signs of intent and a favorable policy environment for closer ties, including Bolivia’s reform momentum and ongoing diplomatic engagements (Reuters 2025-12-18; State 2026-02-04). Evidence of completion or setback: as of early February 2026, no concrete, verifiable cooperative actions (new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs) have been publicly reported. Reliability note: Reuters and the State Department are reputable sources; the former provides context on Bolivia’s reforms, the latter confirms discussions but not binding commitments.

Restated claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, with Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo discussing ways to deepen ties.
Evidence of progress: The State Department readout confirms a meeting on February 4, 2026, in which both sides highlighted a strong interest in expanding cooperation, with emphasis on economic opening, trade opportunities, and addressing citizen security challenges. Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial is noted as part of the context for closer engagement.
Evidence of completion or ongoing work: As of the current date, there are no announced concrete agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs publicly verified beyond the meeting readout and stated intent. No follow-up agreements or milestones are publicly documented in subsequent
US, Bolivian, or multilateral sources.
Dates and milestones: The primary documented item is the February 4, 2026 readout from the U.S. State Department regarding the meeting. The article notes Bolivia’s economic opening and collaboration on minerals, but does not list binding actions or deadlines.
Source reliability and caveats: The State Department is a primary official source for this claim, making the readout a reliable basis for the stated intent. Absence of concrete, verifiable agreements in public records suggests the claim remains aspirational pending formalized steps. The report aligns with the stated policy posture of promoting economic growth, trade, and security cooperation, but does not demonstrate measurable progress yet.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 11:45 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. Public statements confirm a meeting between Secretary Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo discussing expanding cooperation, with emphasis on Bolivia’s economic opening and cooperation on critical minerals (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).
Evidence of concrete progress beyond that meeting is not publicly documented as of now. The readout frames expansion as a shared objective but does not announce new agreements, MOUs, or formal programs (State Department readout, 2026-02-04).
Bilateral relations historically have been strained, and no ambassador-level exchanges had occurred since 2008; this context suggests that any expansion depends on subsequent steps by both sides (CRS briefing, 2025).
If progress occurs, it would likely be marked by verifiable actions such as new bilateral frameworks, agreements on critical minerals, or joint initiatives; none have been publicly announced to date (State Department readout; CRS context, 2025).
The February 2026 meeting provides a plausible starting point for deeper cooperation, but the current public record does not confirm completion of the promised action. The primary sources are official State Department communications, supplemented by policy analysis from CRS for background (State Department readout; CRS report).
Overall reliability rests on official readouts for the stated claim, with CRS offering essential but not real-time progress updates; thus the claim remains plausible but unverified on concrete actions at this time (State Department readout; CRS, 2025).
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 10:06 PMin_progress
Claim restatement: The article states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation during a meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo. The readout frames this as a shared objective rather than a completed agreement.
Progress evidence: The State Department readout confirms the February 4, 2026 meeting and notes both countries’ strong interest in expanding cooperation. It highlights Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, signaling alignment on economic openness and resource-related collaboration. These points indicate high-level political intent and initial engagement rather than final deals.
Assessment of completion status: There are no reported concrete agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs as of the available record. The readout describes discussions and intent to expand cooperation but does not document specific actions or milestones completed or signed.
Dates and milestones: The primary publicly available milestone is the February 4, 2026 meeting and reference to Bolivia’s participation in the Critical Mineral Ministerial; no subsequent agreements or programs are cited in the source. Reliability: The source is the U.S. State Department, a primary official outlet for such statements; it presents the claim in a neutral, factual-readout format without advocacy.
Follow-up note: To determine whether concrete actions emerge, a follow-up review around 2026-06-04 or later should look for new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs announced by either government (e.g., bilateral MoUs, trade or mineral cooperation accords, or citizen-security projects).

Claim restatement:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation after Secretary Rubio met
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo. The readout emphasizes a shared goal to broaden cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world.
Evidence of progress: The February 4, 2026 State Department readout confirms the meeting and reiterates interest in expanding cooperation, with mention of Bolivia's participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial as a sign of ongoing engagement.
What is completed, in progress, or not: There is no public, verifiable evidence of concrete agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs as of now. The available materials show diplomatic intent and a framework for cooperation, but no binding commitments or milestone actions have been publicly announced.
Dates and milestones: The meeting occurred on February 4, 2026, and Bolivia’s involvement in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial is noted as context for economic openness and cooperation discussions. No further completion milestones have been reported.
Source reliability and caveats: The primary source is the U.S. State Department readout, an official government account of the meeting. While it confirms interest, it does not provide independent verification of concrete actions. Ongoing follow-ups or subsequent U.S.–Bolivia announcements would improve clarity on progress.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 05:54 PMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. The State Department readout confirms that Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo to discuss both countries’ strong interest in expanding cooperation, indicating intent rather than a completed package of actions.
Evidence of progress includes the meeting itself on February 4, 2026, and the note that Bolivia participated in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial, with the United States emphasizing a shared aim to advance economic growth, trade opportunities, and citizen security. The readout also highlights Bolivia’s economic opening to the world as part of this broader engagement, suggesting a framework for future cooperation rather than specific, verifiable pledges.
There is no evidence of concrete, verifiable actions such as new agreements, joint initiatives, or formal programs being implemented or signed as of the current date. The communication points to ongoing discussions and alignment of interests, not completion of a defined cooperative instrument. The absence of a binding agreement or scheduled follow-up milestones means the effort remains in early stages.
Key dates and milestones identified include the February 4, 2026 meeting and Bolivia’s participation in the Critical Mineral Ministerial, which signals areas of potential cooperation but does not itself constitute a completed agreement. The reliability of the source is high, as the information comes from the U.S. Department of State’s official readout. No independent corroboration appears necessary to assess the stated status, though corroborating documents (agreements, memoranda, or joint initiatives) would strengthen the evaluation.
Overall, the partnership trajectory appears to be in_progress, with expressed mutual interest and initial engagement but no concrete, verifiable completion to the promised expansion of bilateral cooperation at this time.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 03:40 PMin_progress
What the claim states:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as shown in Secretary Rubio’s meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo on February 4, 2026, per the State Department readout. The readout emphasizes Bolivia’s economic opening and shared goals of boosting economic growth, trade opportunities, and security cooperation against transnational crime. The claim thus concerns stated intent rather than a completed agreement.
Progress and evidence: Public signals of momentum include Bolivia’s 2025 reforms and renewed engagement following a political transition, with Reuters noting
U.S. receptiveness to Bolivian reforms aimed at attracting investment. The State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026) confirms ongoing discussions about expanding cooperation but does not report finalized or verifiable bilateral instruments. This indicates diplomatic progress without concrete, verifiable actions yet.
Current status and milestones: There is clear diplomatic momentum and mutual interest, but no documented new treaties, joint programs, or formal agreements as of early February 2026. The completion condition—binding, verifiable cooperative actions—has not been publicly met. Public information suggests a pathway toward expansion, contingent on subsequent negotiations and announcements.
Reliability note: The primary source is the official State Department readout, which accurately reflects stated intent. Reuters’ late-2025 reporting provides contextual corroboration of reform momentum and openness, but neither source shows concrete bilateral actions at the milestone reported. Continued monitoring of State Department releases and Bolivian government announcements is advised for any new agreements.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 02:49 PMin_progress
Claim restated:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, with discussions between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo signaling a desire to broaden ties.
Evidence of progress: The State Department readout (Feb 4, 2026) notes both sides discussed expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening, with Aramayo participating in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. Independent reporting around the same period highlights Bolivian reforms aimed at attracting foreign investment, which the
U.S. publicly welcomed as a facilitator for potential cooperation (e.g., Reuters coverage Dec 18, 2025).
Progress toward completion: No publicly available new bilateral agreements, joint initiatives, or formal cooperation programs have been announced as of Feb 5, 2026. The February meeting emphasized intent and openness, but concrete, verifiable actions (such as a treaty, memorandum of understanding, or joint program) have not been disclosed.
Dates and milestones: Key cited items include the Feb 4, 2026 State Department readout of Rubio-Aramayo talks and Bolivia’s Dec 18, 2025-epoch reforms framed as opening for international investment. Reuters notes that discussions included investment climate and potential financial mechanisms, but lithium-specific or currency-swap specifics with the United States were not confirmed.
Source reliability note: The primary source is the U.S. State Department readout, which is official and timely. Reuters corroborates the broader context of Bolivia‑U.S. economic openness and investment appeal, providing independent confirmation of reform momentum. Taken together, these sources support a claims trajectory of renewed interest and potential cooperation, pending concrete agreements.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 12:06 PMin_progress
Restated Claim:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, with discussions focusing on economic opening, trade opportunities, and security cooperation. Evidence of progress: A February 4, 2026 State Department readout confirms the meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo and notes a shared interest in expanding cooperation, including Bolivia’s openness to economic engagement and the
U.S. role in supporting investment and security collaboration. No concrete agreements were announced at that time, and the readout emphasizes ongoing discussions rather than finalized programs. Earlier reporting (Reuters, December 18, 2025) framed U.S. statements praising Bolivia’s reforms and signaling willingness to facilitate investment, but did not indicate binding agreements or formal cooperation frameworks already in place. Overall status: progress appears exploratory and incremental rather than completed, with no verifiable, fully executed actions as of early February 2026.
What progress is there: The State Department readout highlights mutual interest and ongoing conversations, including Bolivia’s economic opening and the potential for U.S.-Bolivian investments and technical cooperation. The Reuters report from December 2025 notes high-level alignment on reforms and investment openness, suggesting a favorable environment for future deals but not detailing concrete bilateral instruments, joint initiatives, or formal programs. Dates and milestones are limited to these public statements; no new agreements or joint initiatives have been publicly disclosed to date.
Reliability and neutrality of sources: The primary source is an official State Department readout, which is appropriate for confirming the claim of expressed mutual interest but does not provide independent verification of binding commitments. Reuters provides context on Bolivia’s reform momentum and U.S. reaction, but, like any news agency, it reflects reporting and interpretation that should be weighed against official documents. Together, they depict a preliminary stage characterized by diplomatic openness rather than completed cooperation.
Synthesis on incentives: The State Department framing centers on expanding economic ties, investment, and citizen security collaboration against transnational crime, aligning U.S. incentives with Bolivia’s market-opening narrative. Bolivia’s reform announcements and interest in foreign investment create a favorable incentive structure for future agreements, but the absence of concrete instruments indicates that negotiations are ongoing and will hinge on political developments in Bolivia and the trajectory of economic reforms.
Bottom line: Based on available public reporting, the claim that both parties expressed interest in expanding cooperation is supported, but there is no evidence of concrete, verifiable actions completed or announced as of early February 2026. The situation remains in_progress, with potential for future agreements if negotiations mature.
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 09:45 AMin_progress
What the claim states:
The United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation, as disclosed in a February 4, 2026 State Department readout of Secretary Rubio’s meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Aramayo. The language emphasizes a shared aim to broaden collaboration and identify opportunities across economic growth, trade, and security issues.
What evidence suggests progress or movement: The official readout notes both sides’ strong interest in expanding cooperation and highlights Bolivia’s economic opening to the world, with Bolivian participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial. This signals high-level engagement and a framework in which concrete initiatives could be pursued, even if no specific agreements are announced in that statement (State Department, 2026-02-04).
Evidence of concrete actions or milestones: Prior to the February meeting, the United States welcomed Bolivia’s December 2025 economic reforms, which the State Department framed as a step toward encouraging investment and growth. While these reforms are not bilateral agreements, they create a policy environment that could enable future, verifiable cooperation (State Department, 2025-12; Reuters reporting, 2025-12-18).
Assessment of status and reliability: At present, there are indicators of intent (high-level discussions, participation in multilateral ministerial events) but no publicly announced bilateral agreements or formal programs. The sources are official
U.S. government statements and reputable outlets reporting on those statements, which supports a cautious, preliminary assessment that progress is plausible but not yet completed (State Department readout; Reuters aggregation).
Reliability note: The primary framing comes from the U.S. State Department’s official readout, which reflects the administration’s diplomatic posture and incentive to project ongoing engagement. Reuters corroboration of Bolivia’s reform trajectory strengthens the context, though neither source confirms concrete, verifiable bilateral actions beyond participation in ministerial forums (State Department readout; Reuters, 2025-12-18).
Status caveat: Because no bilateral agreement or program is publicly announced yet, the claim remains in_progress pending verifiable joint actions (e.g., new agreements, joint initiatives).
Update · Feb 05, 2026, 05:44 AMin_progress
The claim states that
the United States and
Bolivia expressed a mutual interest in expanding bilateral cooperation. This was publicly articulated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a meeting with
Bolivian Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo on February 4, 2026, with emphasis on expanding cooperation and Bolivia’s economic opening to the world. The readout notes shared objectives but does not confirm new binding agreements at that time.
Evidence of progress includes Bolivia’s participation in the Secretary’s Critical Mineral Ministerial and the stated
US interest in advancing economic growth, trade opportunities, and citizen security cooperation. The State Department readout frames the discussions as part of a broader effort to expand bilateral ties, rather than announcing concrete new accords.
There is no public record of completed or formally signed agreements as of the current date. The available materials indicate ongoing discussions and a mutual intention to deepen cooperation, but no verifiable milestones (such as a new treaty, joint program, or formal commitment) have been publicly announced.
Source reliability is high for the claim, as it comes from the U.S. Department of State’s official readout of the meeting. Cross-checking with independent outlets yields limited corroboration in the absence of additional announced milestones; no contradictory reporting challenges the stated intent. Given the absence of concrete actions to date, the status remains best described as in_progress.
