The thirty-nine-year-old López Beltrán announced this in a letter addressed to US President Donald Trump, which was released Thursday evening. svet.sme.sk ↗

López Beltrán characterized Washington's decision as politically motivated. According to available information, the American side proceeded with the visa revocation at a time when the Donald Trump administration continues a stricter approach toward selected individuals from Mexico and Latin America. The political dimension of the case is also emphasized by the fact that it concerns the son of a former head of state who remains publicly active.

Representatives of the American State Department state that similar visa revocations concern persons suspected of corruption, drug trafficking, or facilitating illegal migration. However, the provided information does not specify what specific reasons apply to López Beltrán.

The case could further strain political debate between Washington and Mexican circles, especially if López Beltrán insists that the decision has a political background. Further developments will depend on whether the American administration releases more detailed justification or whether the Mexican side officially responds to Washington's action.
