The Bolivian President has threatened to close the US Embassy in his country - after his private jet was banned from several EU countries.

Evo Morales's plane was forced to land in Austria on Tuesday after France, Portugal, Italy and Spain barred it from entering their airspace.

It's because they believed NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden may have been on board - Spain has said today that they were given reliable information to that effect, but they won't say who that information came from.

Morales is blaming Washington for putting pressure on the EU countries - and says Bolivia is better off without the US.
