The Trump administration, after denying visas to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, is weighing new restrictions on delegations from Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe — and even Brazil — ahead of the U.N. General Assembly later this month in New York.
According to an internal State Department memo reviewed by The Associated Press, the restrictions could take effect before the General Assembly convenes on Sept. 22.
The inclusion of Brazil is the most surprising, since the country traditionally holds a place of honor during the gathering of world leaders.
The measures are still under consideration and come as the Trump administration continues its broader visa crackdown, reviewing both current visa holders and those seeking entry for the U.N. meeting.
