The Trump administration revoked the visa for #Brazil’s ambassador to the US after the country delayed giving diplomatic approval to Washington’s choice for envoy to Brasilia, a senior State Department official said Tuesday.

The US is not kicking Brazil’s envoy, Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, out of the country and will restore her visa once Brazil approves the Trump administration’s pick, Daniel Perez, as ambassador to Brasilia, the senior official said.

How to know if the MoU is dead or live? Hint, not if there is shooting, but if the blockade is restored and max pressure sanctions are enforced and escalated.

My 2 cents on the state of play to @Magdalena_971 & @SonyaDymova of @business.

Another curious part of the speech:

“I went into my car and I cried, because this is the fucking America that Donald Trump has created, where they make people who've never done anything wrong for their whole lives scared of whether they are going to see their kids again.”

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias at a rally in response to Kristy Noem’s visit to Springfield:
