The United States State Department has taken decisive action against Colombian President Gustavo Petro, revoking his visa following his contentious remarks in New York. Petro, speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, urged American soldiers to defy orders and called for adherence to 'orders of humanity.'
During his speech on Tuesday, Petro condemned former President Donald Trump, accusing him of complicity in genocide and demanded legal accountability for U.S. military actions in Caribbean waters. The Colombian leader further expressed his strong opposition to Israel's war in Gaza.
