Ecuador's President proposes constitutional amendment for foreign military bases to combat crime and drug trafficking.

Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa has proposed amending the constitution to allow foreign military bases, a move aimed at combating organized crime and drug trafficking. This proposal seeks to modify Article 5, which has prohibited such bases since 2008. Noboa argues that international support is essential for addressing transnational security challenges. The amendment requires approval from the constitutional court and a public referendum before it can take effect.
