Venezuelan Little League team denied travel visas to U.S. for World Series
The Cacique Mara Little League team from Maracaibo, Venezuela, was "unfortunately unable to obtain the appropriate visas," Little League International said in a statement, adding that the decision was "extremely disappointing, especially to these young athletes."
Venezuela is one of several countries whose nationals are restricted or limited from travel into the U.S. under the presidential proclamation signed by President Donald Trump in June. Neither the White House nor the State Department immediately responded to an overnight request for comment.
