| May 21, 2020 at 5:59 | comment | added | phoog | @DanielRHicks the US government does not need excuses to prevent foreign leaders from visiting. They can do that for any reason or for no reason at all. But the basis of that discretion does not have anything to do with the grounds of inadmissibility established in the Immigration and Nationality Act. | |
