7:42Now PlayingThe United States is designating two Ecuadorian gangs as foreign terrorist organizations. The announcement was made on Thursday by the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio while he was in Ecuador as part of a trip to Latin America. This marks the Trump administration’s latest step to target criminal cartels in the region. LiveNOW’s Josh Breslow is learning more from Nick De Mauro, a former NJ Police Officer & Detective.
“This time, we’re not just going to hunt for drug dealers in the little fast boats and say, ‘Let’s try to arrest them,’” Rubio told reporters in Ecuador. “No, the president has said he wants to wage war on these groups because they’ve been waging war on us for 30 years and no one has responded.”
The Secretary of State said actions targeting cartels were being directed more toward Venezuela, and not Mexico.
“There’s no need to do that in many cases with friendly governments, because the friendly governments are going to help us,” Rubio said. “They may do it themselves, and we’ll help them do it.”
