According to a report by U.S. media on the 4th, the U.S. government has revoked the visa of the Brazilian ambassador to the United States in retaliation for Brazil's refusal last month to issue visas to two State Department officials and its continued delay in accepting President Trump's nominee for the ambassador to Brazil. The Associated Press quoted a State Department official as saying that this move is a reciprocal response to Brazils actions. The U.S. government has repeatedly postponed taking action to give Brazilian President Lula some room for maneuver, but Lula has not changed his position. If Brazil takes appropriate action and accepts the U.S. nominee for ambassador to Brazil, the U.S. could quickly lift this measure.
