U.S. Revokes Visa of Brazilian Ambassador in Diplomatic Dispute

  • The U.S. revoked the visa of Brazilian Ambassador Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti as a reciprocal measure after Brazil delayed approval of Daniel Perez, the U.S. ambassador nominee, and denied visas to two American diplomats.
  • A senior State Department official clarified that Viotti is not being expelled and her visa could be restored if Brazil grants formal approval for Perez's nomination.
  • Brazil condemned the U.S. action, asserting it is an attempt to influence its upcoming elections and that the U.S. breached diplomatic norms by announcing Perez's nomination prematurely.
