US revokes, denies visas of Indian business executives over fentanyl precursor trafficking

The US embassy said the affected individuals and close family members “may be ineligible for travel to the United States.”

The US announced on Thursday that it has revoked and denied visas for “certain business executives and corporate leadership” from India on charges of involvement in trafficking fentanyl precursors, though the US embassy declined to identify the affected individuals.

The revocation and subsequent denial of visas for the business executives and corporate leaders was done “in furtherance of the Trump administration’s efforts to keep Americans safe from dangerous synthetic narcotics,” the US embassy said in a statement.
