US revokes visa of former Mexico President's son: What led to the decision and why López Beltrán is questioning Trump

Former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's son, Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, announced this week that the United States had revoked his visa. López Beltrán took to Instagram on August 13 to inform his followers of the decision and shared a three-page letter addressed to President Donald Trump. In the letter, he accused United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau of ordering the cancellation of his visa.

López Beltrán claimed the decision was politically motivated and demanded an explanation from Trump. However, the US government has not publicly disclosed the reason for the visa revocation at this time. López Beltrán, widely known as "Andy," is a prominent figure in the Morena movement, founded by his father, former Mexican President López Obrador.

He was previously the secretary of Organization for Morena, a position that granted him a significant role within the party.
