Trump administration revokes visa of Brazil’s ambassador to US in spat with Lula
The move follows Brazil’s denial of visas to two U.S. diplomats and could be reversed if Brasilia accepts Washington’s ambassador pick.
- The Trump administration revoked the visa of Brazil's ambassador to the United States on Tuesday, the State Department said, describing the move as a reciprocal response to Brazil's actions.
- Brazil denied visas last month to two American diplomats and stalled approval of President Donald Trump's ambassadorial nominee to Brasilia, prompting the administration's retaliation.
- Officials delayed the revocation multiple times to allow Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula room to back down; the measure remains reversible if Brazil accepts the nominee.
- The administration maintains ongoing disputes with the leftist Lula while hosting ties with the Bolsonaro family, whose father Jair once served as Brazil's president.
- Lula faces Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro in Oct. 4 elections, a matchup underscoring the administration's preference for conservative governance as diplomatic tensions escalate.
