US Revokes Colombian President Petro’s Visa Over ‘Reckless’ Anti-Trump Remarks

by | Sep 27, 2025 | Nation | 0 comments

The United States has revoked Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s visa after he urged American soldiers to disobey President Donald Trump during a pro-Palestinian rally in New York on Friday.

In a statement, the State Department condemned Petro’s remarks as “reckless and incendiary.” The comments came while Petro was in the US for the UN General Assembly, where earlier in the week he had also called for a criminal investigation into the Trump administration’s airstrikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean.

According to Colombian media, Petro had already departed New York and was en route back to Bogotá when Washington announced the visa cancellation.

The decision is likely to strain ties between Bogotá and Washington, two allies whose cooperation spans counter-narcotics, trade, and regional security.
