Brazil bars US delegation over political fears
Brazil refused to grant visas to American officials who were planning to visit Brasília before the early presidential elections in October, due to concerns over political exploitation and the risks of undermining electoral integrity. This refusal came amid tensions between the Brazilian government and the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as statements by Flávio Bolsonaro, a former Trump ally, questioning the security of the country's electronic voting system. The source explained that the American request, submitted on July 20, coincided with a meeting of Bolsonaro, during which he expressed doubts about the reliability of the vote, while American officials denied any attempts to undermine Brazilian democracy.
