US revokes visa of Peruvian judge in Chancay port ruling; envoy cites confidence

The US revoked the visa of Peruvian Judge Juan Carlos Núñez after he ruled in favor of Cosco Shipping, the Chinese operator of the Port of Chancay. The US ambassador justified the move as necessary to restore confidence, signaling heightened US pressure over Chinese infrastructure influence in the Western Hemisphere. This marks an unusual direct US action against a foreign judicial official, potentially straining Peru-US relations and highlighting strategic competition over the Chancay port.
