The US State Department announced the revocation of the visa of Colombian President Petro.
The US State Department said on X platform on Friday (September 26) that earlier that day, Petro stood on the streets of New York "urging US soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence." Due to Petro's rash and incitement behavior, we will revoke his visa.
Reuters was unable to immediately confirm whether Petro, who attended the UN General Assembly in New York, was still in the city. The Colombian Foreign Ministry, whose office was located, has not responded to a request for comment.
According to AFP, Petro shared a video on his social media page showing him speaking to a large crowd in Spanish with a megaphone, which was translated by his staff, calling on "countries around the world" to contribute soldiers to form an army "larger than the United States".
Petro said, "Here in New York, I appeal to all US military soldiers not to point their guns at humans." Refuse to carry out Trump's order! "Obey human orders!" "
Colombia's Interior Minister Benedetti said on social media on the same day: "The only person whose visa should be revoked is (Israeli Prime Minister) Netanyahu. The United Nations has unanimously determined today that he 'is not worthy of being a world citizen'."
