The Trump administration takes another step in its confrontation against the rest of the world. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the same who supports deporting migrants without court guarantees, like his government, from the first minute, new restrictions announced new restrictions on Tuesday in the United States, which will affect people associated with the alleged “persecution of US citizens and companies”.
In addition to the traditional criticism of the United States in China, Russia, Iran, Cuba or Venezuela, recently the Trump administration has expanded its criticism in relation to the allies in Europe in complete commercial negotiations with the European Union.
The vice -president of the USA JD Vance in the past accused the EU of censorship of the Law on Digital Services (DSA), because he needs the duties of digital platforms regarding what was published in them. In February, Vance accused European leaders during the Munich Security Conference, of suppressing the opinions of dissidents, calling them as “disinformation” and “false news”.
“For too long, American citizens have been fined, persecuted and even processed by foreign authorities for the exercise of their right to freedom of opinion,” Rubio said: “Today he announced a new policy of limiting a visa, which will apply to officials and foreign persons who are partners in censorship against the Americans. The rights of Americans should not enjoy the privilege of a trip to our country.
The note distributed by the State Department and signed by Rubio himself says: “In some cases, foreign officials carry out egregious censorships against technological companies in the United States and against US citizens or residence on social networks made on American platforms, while they are physically located on American land.
