LA PAZ (Reuters) - Former Bolivian leader Evo Morales is fostering instability and violence from inside Argentina and the United States had warned the South American nation that he would be a "headache," a senior U.S. official said in an interview published on Sunday by Bolivian media.

Mauricio Claver-Carone, a senior adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, said in an interview with Bolivian newspaper Pagina Siete that Morales was a "headache" for Argentina, which granted him asylum, at a time it should be focussing on other issues including its economic crisis and its relationship with the International Monetary Fund.
