Official: Ecuador to receive US weapons, military supplies
QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Ecuador says the United States is sending weapons and military equipment to bolster security in a further sign that frosty relations between the two nations are thawing.
Defense Minister Oswaldo Jarrin spoke Thursday in Quito, saying the supplies are part of a joint security effort.
