The U.S. State Department has announced expanded visa restrictions targeting individuals from countries in the Western Hemisphere who are deemed to "support adversaries" working against American interests in the region, with 26 people already having their visas revoked under the policy. The move is part of President Donald Trump's broader "Donroe Doctrine" — a reference to the 19th-century Monroe Doctrine asserting U.S. dominance over the Americas — which has included efforts to counter drug trafficking, curb China's growing influence in Latin America, and apply economic and military pressure on governments Washington considers adversarial. The new restrictions extend a pattern of visa revocations under the Trump administration that has previously targeted pro-Palestine protesters, individuals with ties to the Iranian government, and Latin American officials at odds with U.S. policy, including Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes and Colombian President Gustavo Petro.
