The Biden administration has taken a significant step in the fight against corruption by imposing visa bans on former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, his vice president, and their immediate families. This decision comes in response to allegations of corruption that have plagued Correa and his deputy, Jorge Glas.
Correa, who served as Ecuador's president from 2007 to 2017, has been at the center of controversy for his political stances that often clashed with U.S. policies. Notably, he allowed Wikileaks founder Julian Assange refuge in Ecuador's embassy in London while Assange was wanted by the United States.
