  "account": "On Tuesday, the administration of Donald Trump announced the revocation of Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti's visa as the Brazilian ambassador to the United States. The decision came after Brazil denied visas to two American diplomats who were to visit Brazil ahead of the upcoming elections, accusing the Brazilian government of stalling the selection of Trump's ambassadorial candidate. Brazil vehemently rejected the decision, stating it shows the US's intention to interfere in its presidential election. State Department officials further clarified that the visa revocation does not imply expulsion from the US, but Viotti would regain her visa if Brazil agrees to Trump's chosen ambassador. Despite the move, the State Department emphasized its commitment to maintaining a normal and productive relationship with Brazil, valuing its people and their democratic process.",
  "summary": "The move was in response to Brazil delaying formal diplomatic approval of the US ambassador to Brasilia and denying visas to several US diplomats. Brazil has rejected the decision.",
