ex-President Jair Bolsonaro in his prison cell in Brasilia.<\/p>\n<p>Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva confirmed on Friday that Beattie\u2019s visa has been pulled. He equated it to the US pulling visas from Brazilian officials in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 3 items<\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">end of list<\/span><\/section>\n<p>Among them was Brazilian Health Minister Alexandre Padilha, whose US visa was revoked last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat American guy who said he was coming here to visit Jair Bolsonaro was prohibited from visiting, and I forbade him from coming to Brazil until they release the visa for my health minister,\u201d Lula said during an event in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Brazilian officials told news services, including the AFP, that Beattie had lied about the purpose of the visit on his visa request.<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro is a far-right ally of President Trump, and he is currently serving a 27-year sentence for his role in a coup plot after Brazil\u2019s 2022 election.<\/p>\n<p>Friday\u2019s decision shows the continued tension between the Brazilian and US governments, even as Trump and Lula have enjoyed warming relations.<\/p>\n<p>Last August, Trump placed Brazil under heavy tariffs \u2014 some of the highest in the world \u2014 in protest against Bolsonaro\u2019s prosecution. He demanded that the country\u2019s legal system drop the case against Bolsonaro and accused Brazil of persecuting right-wing voices.<\/p>\n<p>After Trump met Lula at the United Nations General Assembly in September and again at a summit for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in October, relations between the two leaders improved.<\/p>\n<p>Lula also reached out by telephone in October in a bid to ease the cumulative 50-percent tariffs on certain Brazilian products. On November 20, Trump responded by issuing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/11\/modifying-the-scope-of-tariffs-on-the-government-of-brazil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive order<\/a> \u201cmodifying the scope of tariffs\u201d on Brazilian exports like beef and coffee.<\/p>\n<p>But speculation has remained high that Trump could again intervene in the country\u2019s domestic politics to boost the prospects of the Brazilian right.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil is set to hold a new presidential election in October, where Lula is facing off against Bolsonaro\u2019s eldest son, Flavio.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyers for the imprisoned Bolsonaro had asked the Brazilian Supreme Court to approve a visitation request from Beattie this week, but the court rejected that request on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Beattie, a strong critic of Lula\u2019s government, was fired during Trump\u2019s first term in office following reports that he had attended a white nationalist conference.<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro, meanwhile, was placed in intensive care on Friday, with hospital officials saying the 70-year-old had a \u201chigh fever, a drop in oxygen saturation, sweating and chills\u201d linked to pneumonia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says Darren Beattie was \u2018prohibited from visiting\u2019 Bolsonaro in prison.
