Wole Soyinka Says US Revoked Visa After Trump Comparison
Nigerian Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has stated that the United States revoked his visa and banned him from the country, a move he links to his criticism of the Trump administration. Soyinka, who previously renounced his US green card in protest of Trump’s 2016 election, made the announcement after being asked to surrender his passport for visa cancellation. The author has been a frequent critic of Trump’s immigration policies and suggested that his comparison of Trump to Idi Amin may have contributed to the recent development. The US embassy has declined to comment on the individual case.
