US Considers Restrictions on Iranian, Brazilian, Sudanese, Zimbabwean Delegations at UNGA

The Trump administration is contemplating imposing additional visa and travel restrictions on delegations from Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe, and Brazil during the UN General Assembly, as part of its broader efforts to tighten control over foreign officials in the US. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas was already denied a visa, and further restrictions are expected for other foreign delegations participating in this month’s gathering at the UN headquarters. An internal memo from the State Department, reviewed by the Associated Press, revealed details of the potential measures.
