Brazil revoked the visa of Darren Beattie, a far-right advisor to US President Donald Trump, preventing him from visiting imprisoned ex-President Jair Bolsonaro. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva confirmed the visa revocation, citing a reciprocal action to the US revoking visas of Brazilian officials, including the health minister. Brazilian officials stated Beattie misrepresented the purpose of his visit on his visa application. Bolsonaro, a Trump ally, is serving a 27-year sentence for his role in a coup plot following the 2022 election. The decision highlights ongoing tensions between the Brazilian and US governments, despite recent improvements in relations between Trump and Lula.
