Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, the son of former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, announced that his authorization to enter the United States had been canceled. Beltrán, who holds a political position in the Morena party, argued that the measure was political and baseless.
In a letter addressed to U.S. President Donald Trump and published on social media, Beltrán said U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau had decided to cancel his visa. He also said that Landau had described himself as a “visa canceller.”
Beltrán criticizes the decision
Beltrán argued that the decision was not based on evidence of any moral or criminal act on his part, saying the measure was “based on petty political calculations and propaganda.” He also alleged that the decision had a Hitlerian character.
Beltrán, who serves as a political leader within Morena, previously held the party’s organizational secretary position. He left that post to serve in the Chamber of Deputies.

Sheinbaum calls visa decision political
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum also said the visa cancellation served a political purpose. Sheinbaum said that if the decision was based on criminal activity, the measure should be applied equally to all countries.
The administration’s efforts to increase its influence in Mexico coincided with drug-trafficking allegations against senior officials linked to Morena. The U.S. administration also threatened a trade war against Mexico, raised the possibility of airstrikes on Mexican territory and demanded the extradition of some politicians and governors.
