20OCT2022 #Ecuador - "A delegation of United States senators promised today to deepen US cooperation with Ecuador in security matters and generate the legal framework to increase trade between the two countries.
After beginning their visit to Ecuador with a meeting of nearly two hours with President Lasso, the senators indicated that upon their return to the United States they will attend to the Ecuadorian president's request to increase aid to combat drug trafficking and transnational organized crime.
The delegation is headed by Republican Robert Menéndez, chairman of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and is completed by Democrats Ben Cardin and Ben Sasse; as well as fellow Republicans Rob Portman and Richard Burr. Speaking to journalists,
Menéndez said that he hopes that in November a bill between the United States and Ecuador will go ahead, which awaits a final vote in the US Senate and which aims to strengthen the bilateral relationship.
Said law intends to strengthen economic and commercial ties between the two countries, the promotion of the so-called "inclusive economic development,"
the fight against illicit economies, corruption and "negative foreign influence." Ecuador's Ambassador to the US, Ivonne Baki, was with the US delegation." - Photo courtesy: Guillermo Lasso-

28JUL 2026☣️ 'Biological War: A Scenario' is a 2026 nonfiction book by American investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen.
Published in the United States by Dutton on July 28, 2026, the book examines the potential consequences of a large-scale biological attack or the accidental release of an engineered pathogen.
The book uses a fictional near-future catastrophe to describe how governments, health systems, armed forces and civilian populations might respond to the rapid spread of a highly lethal biological agent.
