BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil's judiciary will not be intimidated by a U.S. decision to target officials involved in the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro with visa bans, a senior judicial official said late on Friday, criticising the move as arbitrary.

Israel has declined to renew the visa for Jonathan Whittall, the senior U.N. aid official for the occupied Palestinian territories, a U.N. spokesperson said on Friday, adding there were intensifying threats of reduced access to suffering civilians.

The head of the Bureau of Consular Affairs said his office regularly weighed criticism of Israel when determining whether to deny or revoke student visas.

Humanitarian officials see a pattern of Israel retaliating against those who criticize its conduct in Gaza and toward Palestinians.

Millions of fans are expected to visit the U.S., Mexico, and Canada for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but a list of concerns must be addressed before kickoff.

Secretary Chavez-DeRemer clarifies that the H-2A visa program changes are not an expansion or amnesty program but aim to streamline existing processes for farmers and ranchers.

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva called a U.S. decision to impose visa bans on officials involved in former President Jair Bolsonaro's trial "arbitrary" and "baseless," and said foreign interference in the judiciary was "unacceptable.

While Visa has been impacted by broader economic weakness, V stock is signaling for a possible sentiment reversal ahead of earnings.
