US Visa Ban Targets Peruvian Judge in Chinese Port Dispute

The US has included Peruvian judge Juan Carlos Núñez in a new round of visa restrictions on 17 Latin Americans, marking the first time a Peruvian official has been targeted in this context. The move appears linked to his role in a legal dispute over a Chinese-operated port in Peru, signaling US pressure on judicial decisions affecting Chinese infrastructure investments. The specific allegations against Núñez are not detailed, and the direct impact on the port dispute remains unclear.
