The Trump administration issued a clear statement directed at Brazil's socialist government, indicating continued support for allies facing left‑wing judicial pressure. Officials said the United States would provide visas to the former Brazilian leader after his passport was seized. The message was framed as a response to attempts by judges and politicians to suppress opposition figures. The State Department, under Marco Rubio, confirmed the visa issuance. The announcement was published by a Zambian news outlet. The communication emphasized that the U.S. remains ready to assist partners under political pressure.
