Andrés Manuel López Beltrán claims U.S. visa revocation is political interference FAST-MOVING
Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, son of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has announced that the United States government revoked his visa. In a letter addressed to President Donald Trump, López Beltrán characterized the decision as a “political, propagandistic, and Hitlerian-style” act, alleging it was ordered by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau without legal justification or evidence of criminal activity.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has condemned the revocation, describing it as an act of political interference in Mexican affairs. Sheinbaum argued that the decision lacks consistency, noting that such measures are not applied uniformly to all countries in Latin America. She emphasized that if the U.S. possesses evidence of wrongdoing, it should be presented to Mexican authorities for legal processing through the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR).
While the PAN political party has called for an investigation into López Beltrán regarding alleged fiscal fraud and influence peddling, President Sheinbaum stated there is currently no active FGR investigation into him regarding these matters. López Beltrán maintained that the measure does not personally affect him and criticized the officials involved as acting like “gang leaders” rather than diplomats.
