Ecuador's President Recovers After Prostate Surgery

The office of Ecuador's President Guillermo Lasso announced that the president is recovering after undergoing prostate surgery at Houston Methodist Hospital in the United States. The office indicated on Thursday that Lasso is scheduled to return to his country on Sunday, without mentioning the reason for the surgery. Lasso has undergone several surgical procedures during his term, including a medical procedure on his eyelid, which he had at another hospital in Houston last year after being diagnosed with a type of skin cancer. Currently, Lasso is governing the country by decree after dissolving the National Assembly last week, citing a political crisis and internal unrest. This move has led to the rescheduling of the presidential and legislative elections to August.
