Bolivian President Luis Arce questioned the tariffs imposed by the US and explained that steps are being taken to open new markets in the BRICS countries. He added that Bolivia is also in the process of fully joining Mercosur.

“We completely condemn the imposition of tariffs that lack any technical study. It is a political decision that affects many countries. As the government, we have opened new markets in the BRICS countries, and we are in the process of fully joining Mercosur,” Arce emphasized during a press conference on Monday, April 7.

I think it's more about them getting more confident in the US's inability to harm it or more confident that they cannot prevent the US from harming it by being passive.
