The U.S. has joined forces with Ecuador to launch military operations against “designated terrorist organizations” in the South American country in an expansion of the Trump administration’s campaign targeting what it claims are drug traffickers in the region.
U.S. Southern Command announced the operations in a late-night X post on Tuesday, writing, “On March 3, Ecuadorian and U.S. military forces launched operations against Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador. The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism.”
“Together, we are taking decisive action to confront narco-terrorists who have long inflicted terror, violence, and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere.”
