Washington [US], August 6: The administration of President Donald Trump has cancelled the visa for Brazil's ambassador in the United States, the latest sign of a deepening diplomatic rift between the two countries.
An anonymous US State Department official briefed reporters on Tuesday that Ambassador Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti's visa had been temporarily revoked. But Ribeiro Viotti was not being expelled from the country, the official added.
The decision to revoke the visa was framed as backlash to Brazil's decision to withhold approval for Trump's ambassador to the South American country.
