L\u00f3pez Beltr\u00e1n appealed directly to President Trump and expressed that he has always lived with honesty and principles. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum also criticized the visa revocation, calling it politically driven and an interference in Mexican politics, noting that such actions are inconsistent with genuine security concerns. The U.S. State Department has not officially commented but announced that over 175,000 visas had been revoked during the Trump administration for various reasons, including violations and national security concerns. Sheinbaum accused the far right of attempting to sabotage U.S.-Mexico relations, while the Trump administration emphasized that visa revocations are a tool to protect national safety. The relationship between the U.S.and Mexico\u2019s Morena party has been tense, especially after the indictment of several Mexican officials on drug trafficking and weapons charges.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The son of former <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mexico\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"322\">Mexican<\/a> president <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/andres-manuel-lopez-obrador\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"3709\">Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador<\/a> said he had his visa revoked by the<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"339\"> Trump administration<\/a>, alleging the move was politically motivated as retribution on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Beltr\u00e1n, the former president\u2019s son and politician of Mexico\u2019s left-wing Morena party, wrote in a letter to President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a>, and subsequently posted to his <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/andresmanuellopezbeltran_\/p\/DcAciVoljhQ\/?hl=en&#038;img_index=1\">Instagram<\/a> page, that Secretary of State <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/marco-rubio\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"51\">Marco Rubio<\/a> and Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau revoked his U.S. visa, appealing the decision directly to Trump.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4688673\/son-of-former-mexican-president-appeals-to-trump-after-visa-revoked\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Son of former Mexican president appeals to Trump after visa revoked<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4688636\/trump-ballroom-treasonists-supreme-court\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump calls White House ballroom foes \u2018treasonists\u2019 following Supreme Court plea<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4688580\/iran-rebukes-trumps-strait-of-hormuz-territory-comment\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Iran rebukes Trump\u2019s Strait of Hormuz territory comment: \u2018Will remain Iranian\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L\u00f3pez Beltr\u00e1n called Rubio and Landau\u2019s decision to revoke his visa \u201cpolitically motivated\u201d and \u201cpropagandistic,\u201d calling their move \u201carrogant,\u201d according to a Google translation of his letter from Spanish to English.
