Later that day at 18:18 UTC, Salazar addressed international security efforts between the United States and Ecuador by stating, “The joint U.S.-Ecuador counter-narcotics operations are backed by existing bilateral security agreements and focused on one mission: defeating the violent cartels and narco-terrorists threatening Ecuador’s democracy.

The annual job fair referenced by Salazar was held at Miami Dade College’s Padrón Campus and brought together numerous local employers with hundreds of job seekers from the community. The event aimed to provide opportunities for employment and professional development within South Florida.
