BTW didn’t Trump just pardon the biggest cocaine importer in U.S.history.
US military launches operation in Ecuador to combat drug trafficking.
US and Ecuadorian forces have launched joint operations to combat drug trafficking, the US Southern Command said on Tuesday, but neither side gave more details.
Southern Command, which encompasses 31 countries through South and Central America and the Caribbean, said in a statement on X that the “decisive action” was aimed at combating illicit drug trafficking.
The Ecuador defense ministry said details of the offensive operations were classified.
The announcement came a day after the South American country said Washington had joined a “new phase” in its so-called “war on drugs”.
Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa, a close ally of Donald Trump, said Washington was among “regional allies” taking part in the operation against drug cartels, which use ports to smuggle cocaine to international markets. Now where is Donny Jr. gonna get his blow?
