    The farm’s employees told the Times that Ecuadorian service members landed by helicopter on March 3, interrogated the workers, beat them with their guns and set several structures on fire. Three workers, who were not named, said they were “choked” and subjected to “electrical shocks” before being released.

    Three days later, Ecuadorian military helicopters returned and unleashed explosives on the farm’s remaining structures, villagers said. It was this incident that was captured on video and later posted by U.S. officials.

    ‘It’s an outrage,’ the farm’s owner told The New York Times. ‘It’s a lie that 50 people trained here. Where are they going to train? Out here in the open? There’s no logic’

        I wonder if Ecuador really wants that export deal or if they are scared that Trump will bomb all of their Dairy farms if they say no.
