The Trump administration revoked the visa of Brazilian ambassador Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti in retaliation for Brasilia's refusal to grant visas to two American diplomats.
The U.S. State Department has revoked the visa of Brazil's ambassador to the United States, Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, according to official sources cited by several media outlets on Tuesday. This decision constitutes direct retaliation after the Brazilian government refused to grant visas to two U.S. diplomats who wished to travel to Brazil before the country's upcoming elections.
Washington also accuses Brasilia of hindering the appointment of the ambassador chosen by Donald Trump to represent the United States in Brazil. This double diplomatic friction marks a significant deterioration in relations between the two countries.
The case is still evolving.
