Source excerpt
The United States has revoked the visa of Brazil's ambassador, a State Department official said Tuesday, in a mounting diplomatic row just months before elections in Latin America's largest nation.
The move would be reversed, the official said on customary condition of anonymity, if Brazil granted its approval of President Donald Trump's nominee to be ambassador Brasilia.
Trump nominated Daniel Perez, a prominent Florida Republican, as the new ambassador to Brazil in early June.
While the nomination still requires confirmation by the US Senate, he would not be able to take up the post until Brazil gives approval.
