United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has designated two more Latin American cartels “foreign terrorist organistations” during a visit to Ecuador.
The announcement on Thursday came after Rubio, the top US diplomat, met Ecuadorian President Daniel Naboa in Quito.
Speaking at a news conference afterwards with Ecuador’s foreign minister, Rubio described the designations as part of a “war” US President Donald Trump has begun to wage against Latin American cartels.
