In our time Al Capone, and Pablo Escobar would have been elected to be a president
Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa held what his office portrayed as a “friendly and private” meeting Saturday with Donald Trump at the US President’s Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida.
The meeting came in advance of an April 13 runoff election being held in Ecuador under conditions of martial law and amid preparations for the deployment of US troops to the country. Noboa, a far-right heir to a banana industry fortune, is polling behind Luisa Gonzlez, a nominally “leftist” stand-in for former President Rafael Correa.
