Guterres defends entry of international journalists in the US after restrictions

The UN secretary-general, António Guterres, defended this Monday a policy that allows the entry into the United States of the greatest possible number of international journalists. The position comes after the US government applied visa restrictions to correspondents. Guterres emphasized the importance of press freedom, believing that restricting journalists' entry would harm information circulation and international understanding. He called on the US government to reconsider these restrictions to ensure that international media can operate normally. This position of the United Nations leader reflects the organization's concern with the impact of restrictive measures on press freedom and international journalistic work.
