Mexico’s Foreign Secretary Juan Ramón de la Fuente on Friday said that a recent decision by the U.S. government to stop issuing worker visas for commercial truck drivers will not affect Mexicans.

"Mexican truck drivers have a visa provided for in the USMCA, it is a B visa, and this new provision will only affect those drivers who have E and H type visas,” he explained.

The U.S. will stop issuing worker visas for commercial truck drivers, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Thursday on X. He said the change was effective immediately.

During the news briefing in Mexico City, De la Fuente also talked about U.S. visa holders whose documents would be subject to a new revision.

"The other provisions (regarding visas) are still unknown, and we do not yet know the details,” he told the press.

“Our legal consultancy is also constantly trying to thoroughly study and correctly interpret the meaning of each of these provisions,” he added.

The Trump administration said Thursday it is reviewing more than 55 million people who have valid U.S. visas for any violations that could lead to deportation, part of a growing crackdown on foreigners who are permitted to be in the United States.

In a written answer to a question from The Associated Press, the State Department said all U.S. visa holders, which can include tourists from many countries, are subject to “continuous vetting,” with an eye toward any indication they could be ineligible for permission to enter or stay in the United States.

Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked, and if the visa holder is in the United States, they would be subject to deportation.
