The U.S. Embassy in Quito, Ecuador, announced on Wednesday the opening of the first FBI office in the country.
Ecuadorian officials will work alongside the office in a move that strengthens diplomatic relations between the United States and the South American country, while reinforcing President Donald Trump’s push to fight drug trafficking in the Western Hemisphere.
