WASHINGTON – The United States has revoked the visa of Oscar Arias, the former president of Costa Rica and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, sparking confusion and frustration. Arias expressed disappointment over the lack of a clear explanation for the decision, describing the official notification as “terse and vague.”
Arias, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987 for his efforts to resolve Central America’s conflicts, had planned to travel to the U.S. for personal and professional reasons. The revocation has raised questions about the reasons behind the decision, as Arias has been a respected figure on the global stage for decades.
The Costa Rican diplomat and advocate for peace now seeks further clarification from U.S. authorities, emphasizing the importance of transparency in such matters.
