Brazil revokes visa of US diplomat who sought to visit Bolsonaro in prison
Brazil revoked Darren Beattie's visa citing false information and concerns of undue interference, linking the move to U.S. visa restrictions on Brazilian officials, including Health Minister Alexandre Padilha.
- On Friday, Brazil revoked the visa of U.S. State Department official, calling it a reciprocal measure after U.S. visa restrictions last year, Lula said.
- On Thursday, Justice Alexandre de Moraes denied Beattie access to the Brasilia prison and noted his visa request to attend the Brazil–US Critical Minerals Forum in São Paulo on Wednesday, citing potential 'undue interference'.
- An anonymous Brazilian official told The Associated Press the visa was revoked due to 'the omission of information and lies about the purpose of the visit upon his visa request', and The White House declined to comment.
- Officials noted this may complicate Lula's plans to meet Trump this month, tied to an August visa move by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
- Beyond the immediate dispute, Lula's move may strain Brazil–U.S. relations as he campaigns for reelection later this year against Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, with no set date for talks with Trump.
