巴西拒绝美国官员签证：选举前夕的美巴外交摩擦
美国计划派员讨论选举公正性，巴西以防范政治操纵为由拒签，凸显大选前双边紧张及地缘影响。
7月25日，巴西外交部拒绝向两名美国国务院官员发放签证，理由是存在“政治工具化风险”。巴方消息称，美方拟派助理国务卿巴恩斯和副助理国务卿萨姆森于7月底访问巴西利亚，讨论选举完整性。但巴方认为，访问时机与反对派候选人弗拉维奥·博索纳罗质疑电子投票的言论相呼应，可能干扰十月大选。
美国国务院回应称，访问是“例行公事”，旨在促进选举诚信对话，并否认任何破坏选举的意图。然而，弗拉维奥·博索纳罗在其父前总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗被判政变罪后，持续质疑投票系统，其家族与特朗普政府关系密切。此外，美国近期对巴西加征关税，将贩毒集团列为恐怖组织，卢拉政府均表反对，双边关系已趋紧。
拉美分析人士指出，特朗普政府公开支持多国右翼候选人，意图扩大影响。巴西选举法院则反复认证电子投票安全。卢拉警告外部勿干预选举。对中国等金砖国家而言，巴西稳定关乎南南合作。若事态升级，巴西外交可能进一步向多极靠拢，强化与中俄协调。
签证已被拒，美方尚未反制。十月大选临近，此事件凸显大国竞争下中等强国维护选举主权的挑战。国际社会正观察美巴下一步互动。
