Ecuador has been begging the U.S. to renew the ATPDEA, due to expire July 31. They've also been trying to negotiate a free trade agreement with the U.S., knowing full well Columbia's free trade pact is sucking revenue away from them. Correa knows Ecuador can't survive on oil revenues alone (see: Venezuela), and is bucking a decades old trend of not signing any trade pacts with foreign nations. I mean, do we really give a shit about some ex-patriots hanging out in Ecuador? Pftt. The U.S. doesn't need Ecuador. Ecuador NEEDS the U.S.
