Son of Former Mexican President López Obrador Says US Revoked His Visa and Appeals Directly to Trump
López Beltrán says U.S. authorities gave no evidence for the revocation and asks President Donald Trump for an explanation.
- On Thursday, Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, son of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, said the United States revoked his visa and appealed to President Donald Trump for an explanation.
- Reuters reported last year that the U.S. government had revoked visas for at least 50 Mexican politicians and officials as part of a crackdown on drug cartels and their alleged political allies.
- López Beltrán denied any wrongdoing and labeled the revocation "a crude and perverse act" by officials he said target foreign politicians as "threats to U.S. security."
- On Friday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said U.S. visa revocations targeting "politically exposed persons" are "essentially political" because they are not applied equally across countries.
- The 39-year-old politician recently stepped down from Morena party leadership as he prepares to seek a seat in Mexico's lower house of Congress in the 2027 midterm elections.
