US revokes Brazilian ambassador’s visa in diplomatic tit-for-tat

The US State Department revoked the visa of Brazil's ambassador, Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, on Wednesday. This action serves as a diplomatic tit-for-tat following the Brazilian government's refusal to approve the ambassador appointed by Washington to Brazil. By stripping Viotti of her visa, the US has suspended her ability to represent her country in Washington. This decision was explicitly made in retaliation for the previous diplomatic blockage regarding the US appointment to Brazil.
