President Correa pledged to shut down the drug trafficking that is occurring in and around Ecuador and also raised the need to extend the Andean trade preferences program. When we visited the LatinFlor flower farm. we saw firsthand the impact of this trade program. It is creating thousands upon thousands of jobs for the people of Ecuador and keeping people there from being recruited by drug traffickers or from having to flee poverty through Illegal immigration into the United States. In Peru. we met with President Alan Garcia. The United States and Peru have long had a strong and lasting relationship.
