Overview
- Andrés Manuel López Beltrán confirmed Friday that the United States revoked his visa and publicly accused Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Undersecretary Christopher Landau of ordering the action.
- The U.S. Embassy has declined to give case-specific reasons, saying U.S. law treats visa records as confidential, and reporting has not identified the visa category or published evidence behind the revocation.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum, Morena leaders and allied officials framed the decision as political interference while opposition parties including the PRI and PAN demanded Mexican investigations and urged the FGR and financial authorities to act.
- The move is being reported as part of a broader U.S. pattern this year that has included visa revocations for other high-profile Morena figures and a separate New York criminal case naming ten Mexican officials over alleged cartel links.
- López Beltrán has called for organization against what he called an attack on sovereignty, said he will continue political tours in Tabasco, and the episode raises fresh questions about Morena's succession and how the bilateral row could affect domestic politics.
