The Trump administration is revoking the visas of 27 Latin American officials, former officials and their families, including Bolivia’s attorney general, over accusations of corruption.
The officials and their families come from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru – all nations with right-leaning leaders friendly with US President Donald Trump. Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Colombia, Ecuador and Peru this month, pledging US support for their efforts to combat drug and human trafficking.
Those leaders have complained that many of those targeted by the visa revocations were hindering their efforts to fight crime.
The State Department announced the revocations on Monday, saying they were being done “to fulfil the commitments to defend democratic governance across our hemisphere against corruption and narco-trafficking”.
