Rubio visits Ecuador as Trump-friendly leader helps the US counterdrug push in the region
- State Marco Rubio visits Ecuador on Wednesday to meet Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa and strengthen security cooperation against drug trafficking under President Donald Trump's administration.
- Rubio aims to align regional leaders across South America with U.S. interests in the Western Hemisphere, emphasizing shared counternarcotics efforts and economic engagement with conservative partners.
- Coinciding with the visit, U.S. forces intercepted and sank a vessel on Tuesday linked to Los Choneros, marking the second in as many days of such operations.
