The Trump administration, after denying visas to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, is weighing new restrictions on delegations from Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe — and even Brazil — ahead of the U.N. General Assembly later this month in New York.

According to an internal State Department memo reviewed by The Associated Press, the restrictions could take effect before the General Assembly convenes on Sept. 22.

The inclusion of Brazil is the most surprising, since the country traditionally holds a place of honor during the gathering of world leaders.

Trump has clashed with Lula over his prosecution of Trump ally Jair Bolsonaro for allegedly leading an attempted coup.

Syria will likely face fewer restrictions after its delegation received a waiver from travel limits imposed more than a decade ago.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the State Department for comment on the restrictions.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
