U.S. opens first FBI office in Quito to fight drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, and terrorism financing amid a major security crackdown in Ecuador.
The U.S. has opened its first FBI office in Quito, Ecuador, as part of a major joint effort to combat drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, and terrorist financing.
This follows a large-scale military offensive in western Ecuador, supported logistically by the U.S., targeting criminal networks linked to Colombian and Mexican cartels.
The operation, beginning March 15, includes a curfew and troop movements to dismantle criminal infrastructure.
The move marks a significant escalation in U.S.-Ecuador security cooperation, driven by rising violence and illicit drug shipments through Ecuadorian ports.
