— The Trump administration is finding new ways to put more pressure on Mexico, said former U.S. ambassador to the country Tony Wayne. Reuters wrote that the administration's decision shocked members of Mexico's political elite, who regularly travel to the U.S. and require a visa to do so.
A senior Mexican politician told Reuters that the visas of more than 50 politicians from the ruling Morena party and several dozen representatives of other political groups were canceled. The agency noted that the Trump administration is also revoking visas of people from other Latin American countries that it considers political and ideological enemies.
