The Export-Import Bank of the United States dealt a blow to Peru on Thursday by voting against $214 million in loan guarantees for the Camisea natural gas project..."It was rejected because it didn't fully meet the Ex-Im Bank's environmental guidelines."

Thursday's vote marked a victory for environmental and indigenous groups
