### Transitional Cabinet

Following his designation as president-elect, Rodrigo Paz announced José Luis Lupo and Gabriel Espinoza as part of his government team. They immediately traveled to the United States to meet with executives from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Paz traveled to Washington to meet with international organizations and the U.S. government, with the intention of securing the flow of U.S. dollars and fuel, as the Bolivian state had begun to experience shortages of both during Luis Arce's administration.
