Brazil denies visas to Trump officials planning to question elections

Brazil's Foreign Ministry (Itamaraty) denied visas to officials from the Trump administration who planned to travel to Brazil to question the country's electoral process. The move came after reports that the Trump team intended to send representatives to challenge the integrity of Brazil's electronic voting system. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, speaking at a campaign event for Fernando Haddad, warned that anyone attempting to interfere in Brazil's elections would face consequences. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between the two governments over electoral sovereignty.
