Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — The country of Ecuador has been gaining prominence in the global cocaine trade. On Thursday U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the United States is designating two Ecuadorian gangs as foreign terrorist organizations in the Trump administration’s latest move against cartels. Rubio described the two new designees, “Los Lobos” and “Los Choneros”, vicious animals. Adding, that the designation, brings “all sorts of options”, including the ability to kill them as well as take action against the properties and banking accounts in the U.S. for the group’s members and people with ties to the criminal organizations.
