U.S. revokes visas of Brazilian justices, targeting Moraes
The United States has revoked the visas of Brazilian Supreme Court justices and their families, with Justice Alexandre de Moraes as the primary target, due to his actions against former President Jair Bolsonaro. The U.S. action, announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, follows Moraes's decision to restrict Bolsonaro's social media use and impose other measures. The U.S. cited concerns over a "political witch hunt" and violations of free speech, accusing Moraes of overstepping. This move is seen as a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries, potentially leading to further sanctions and economic repercussions for Brazil. The situation is further complicated by Brazil's foreign policy alignment with countries like Russia and China.
