The United States has revoked the visa of Brazil's ambassador to Washington, according to a State Department official. This move is part of an escalating diplomatic row between the two countries, just months before elections in Brazil. The revocation is reportedly conditional, pending Brazil's approval of US President Donald Trump's nominee to be ambassador to Brasilia.
The US nominated Daniel Perez, a prominent Florida Republican, as the new ambassador to Brazil in early June, as reported by News - South China Morning Post. Other sources, including The Guardian and France 24, confirm the visa revocation, framing it as an escalation of a diplomatic feud. The Trump administration's decision to cancel the Brazilian ambassador's visa is seen as a tit-for-tat move, according to World.
The diplomatic row between the US and Brazil comes at a significant time, just before elections in Latin America's largest nation, and highlights the tense relations between the two countries. The context of the dispute is not fully detailed in the available sources, but it is clear that the visa revocation is a significant development in the relationship between the two nations.
