Ecuadorians voted in a referendum on Sunday and rejected measures that would have allowed the US to establish military bases in Ecuador, a blow to the Pentagon’s plans to increase its military presence in the region.

About 60% of Ecuadorians rejected the return of foreign military bases to the country. Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa, who has aligned himself with the Trump administration, said before the vote that a US military presence was needed to help combat drug trafficking and violent crime, but he said he accepted the results of the referendum.

“These are the results. We consulted the Ecuadorians, and they have spoken. We have fulfilled what we promised: asking them directly. We respect the will of the Ecuadorian people. Our commitment does not change; it strengthens. We will continue to fight tirelessly for the country that you deserve, with the tools that we have,” Noboa wrote on X on Monday.
