The U.S. State Department has announced the revocation of Colombian President Gustavo Petro"s visa following his recent actions in New York City. Earlier today, Petro reportedly urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence while standing on a street near the United Nations Headquarters.
In a statement, the State Department described Petro"s actions as reckless and incendiary, leading to the decision to revoke his visa. The announcement comes amid heightened tensions regarding Petro"s political stance and his interactions with U.S. military personnel.
This incident marks a significant development in U.S.-Colombian relations, particularly in light of Petro"s leftist policies and rhetoric. The situation is currently being monitored by U.S. officials as they assess the implications of Petro"s statements and actions.
