特朗普政府撤销巴西驻美大使签证,加剧了华盛顿与巴西利亚之间的紧张关系。

美国国务院并未将大使玛丽亚·路易莎·里贝罗·维奥蒂列为“不受欢迎的人”,一名资深国务院官员表示,取消其签证“不等同于将该人驱逐出境”。

该官员称,此次签证撤销是对巴西方面延迟批准美国驻巴西大使提名人丹尼尔·佩雷斯的“对等回应”。他们还指出,此次撤销“是在过去一年左右出现的多起外交争端背景下发生的”,其中包括巴西拒绝向美国官员发放签证。

该官员表示,如果巴西方面批准对佩雷斯的外交认可(即“ agrement”),维奥蒂的签证将立即恢复。目前尚不清楚此次撤销签证将对其大使身份产生何种影响。另一名资深国务院官员表示,如果维奥蒂离开美国,她需要重新申请签证。

美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)已联系巴西外交部及其驻华盛顿大使馆置评。

此次行动发生在巴西10月大选前夕,现任总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦将与前总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗之子弗拉维奥·博索纳罗角逐总统职位。小博索纳罗今年早些时候曾与包括唐纳德·特朗普总统在内的特朗普政府官员会面。

卢拉上月表示,巴西政府拒绝向两名国务院官员发放签证,原因是担心选举干预。

第一位资深国务院官员周二表示,这些官员当时正计划进行一次“例行访问”。

“无论巴西人民通过自由公平的选举选出何种政府,我们都予以尊重,”他们说道。

该官员未排除采取进一步“对等行动”的可能性,但表示:“此次事件的核心是,我们有一位完全合格的大使提名人,我们认为巴西政府应当对我们的外交认可请求给予迅速且积极的回应。”

该官员称,巴西方面“已放出信号”,他们很可能会在大选后才批准该请求,这意味着即便佩雷斯获得美国参议院确认,也无法上任。

第二位官员声称,他们“数周来一直在与巴西政府持续沟通,并为巴西政府提供了一切机会去做出正确选择,但他们却不断拖延和含糊其辞”。

“我们反对任何外国势力干涉我国国内事务的企图,”他们说道。

佩雷斯的提名于6月1日提交至参议院,并于7月底在参议院外交关系委员会获得通过。佩雷斯是佛罗里达州众议院议长,也是国务卿马可·卢比奥的盟友。

通常情况下,应在提名提出前寻求外交认可。目前尚不清楚佩雷斯的提名是否遵循了这一程序。

Trump admin revokes visa of Brazilian ambassador to US

The Trump administration has revoked the visa of Brazil’s ambassador to the US, escalating a rift between Washington and Brasilia.

The State Department did not declare Amb. Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti to be “persona non-grata,” and a senior State Department official said the cancelation of her visa “is not the same thing as kicking the person out of the country.”

The official said the visa revocation is a “reciprocal action” to what they described as Brazil’s delay in granting diplomatic approval, known as agrément, to the US pick for ambassador to that country, Daniel Perez. They also noted the revocation “occurs in the context of several other diplomatic disputes that have developed over the last year or so,” including Brazil’s refusal to grant visas to US officials.

The official said Viotti’s visa would be immediately restored if agrément is given to Perez. It is unclear how the revocation will affect her standing as ambassador. Another senior State Department official said that if Viotti leaves the US, she would need to reapply for a visa.

CNN has reached out to the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its embassy in Washington for comment.

The move comes ahead of Brazil’s October elections, which will see current president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva face Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The younger Bolsonaro met with members of the Trump administration, including President Donald Trump, earlier this year.

Lula said last month the Brazilian government refused to grant visas to two State Department officials because of concerns about election meddling.

The first senior State Department official said Tuesday that the officials were planning a “routine trip.”

“We respect the Brazilian people in whatever government that they choose freely through free and fair elections in Brazil,” they noted.

The official did not rule out further “reciprocal actions” but said, “This particular event is focused on the fact that we have a well-qualified ambassadorial nominee, and we think the government of Brazil owes us a prompt and positive answer to our request for agrément.”

Brazil has “put out signals” that they likely won’t give that approval until after their elections, the official said, which would prevent Perez from taking up his post even if he is confirmed by the US Senate.

The second official claimed they have “communicated continually with the Brazilian government for weeks and have given the Brazilian government every opportunity to do the right thing, yet they have continually delayed and obfuscated.”

“We reject any effort by foreign countries to interfere in our domestic processes,” they said.

Perez’s nomination was sent to the Senate on June 1 and it was voted out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in late July. Perez is the speaker of the Florida House of Representatives and an ally of Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Typically, agrément is sought before a nomination is put forward. It is unclear if this happened with Perez’s nomination.
