Brazil has announced plans to impose restrictions on the entry of certain foreign nationals in an effort to curb migration to the United States and Canada. The restrictions will primarily target citizens from Asian countries, including China, India, and Nepal, who have been using Brazil as a transit point to reach North America. The Brazilian Justice Ministry stated that these measures aim to address the increasing number of migrants seeking refuge in Brazil before continuing their journey to the U.S. and Canada. The new rules, which will require visas for entry, are set to take effect next week.
