Ecuador and the U.S. are dismantling narco-terror networks that have turned Ecuadorian ports into cocaine superhighways and fueled skyrocketing violence. Joint operations have already seized 10 tons of cocaine worth $300 million, and designating Los Lobos and Los Choneros as foreign terrorist organizations gives both governments powerful new tools to cut off criminal financing. Stronger security cooperation directly protects Ecuador's export economy and regional stability.
