The United States State Department announced on Tuesday that it has revoked the visa of Brazil's ambassador in Washington, Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, who has held the post since 2023.
According to the US State Department, the measure can be reversed if Brazil grants diplomatic approval allowing President Donald Trump's nominee to take over as the United States ambassador in Brazil.
Nomination of Daniel Perez
Daniel Perez was nominated for the ambassador post in June 2026. His nomination has not yet been confirmed by the United States Congress.
