The U.S. has revoked the visa of Brazil's ambassador to the United States in retaliation for Brazil's recent refusal to issue visas to two State Department officials and for delaying acceptance of President Trump's nominee for U.S. ambassador to Brazil, the AP reported citing a State Department official. The official described the move as a reciprocal response and said Washington had postponed action to give LULA room to change course; the measure can be quickly rescinded if Brazil grants the visas and accepts the U.S. nominee.
