Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, the son of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has announced that the United States revoked his visa. López Beltrán lashed out at the Trump administration, claiming the decision was politically motivated. He specifically accused Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau of ordering the action.
This development serves as another flashpoint in the tense relationship between the U.S. and Mexico. The move increases pressure on President Claudia Sheinbaum amid simmering tensions with Washington and comes during a crackdown on Mexican politicians with alleged ties to cartels.
The United States has not confirmed the revocation of the visa. However, State Department officials stated that such visa revocations are directed at individuals implicated in corruption, narcotics smuggling, or assisting unlawful migration.
