flag U.S. imposed visa bans on three Chilean officials over Chinese-funded undersea cable project, citing security concerns.

flag The U.S. has imposed visa restrictions on three Chilean officials over their involvement in a Chinese-funded undersea cable project, citing national security concerns. flag The move, announced ahead of a Latin American summit in Miami and a right-wing transition in Santiago, reflects a broader Trump administration effort to limit Chinese influence in strategic infrastructure across the region. flag The sanctions, which bar the officials and their families from entering the U.S., are part of a growing U.S. strategy to pressure allies to restrict Chinese investments, despite Chile’s reliance on China as its top trading partner. flag The action has strained relations with Chile’s outgoing government, which condemned the move as unilateral, while the U.S. expressed hope for improved ties with the incoming administration.
