The Trump administration revoked the visa of Brazil’s ambassador to the United States, Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, in a widening diplomatic dispute with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s government. U.S. officials said the move is retaliation for Brazil denying visas to two American diplomats ahead of October elections and for delaying approval of Trump’s nominee for ambassador in Brasilia. Brazil disputed the U.S. justification, calling it politically motivated. Despite the revocation, the ambassador is not being expelled and could resume duties if Brazil approves the nominee.
