The US will revoke Colombian President #GustavoPetro's visa because he "urged US soldiers to disobey orders & incite violence" [he didn’t say anything violent at all] in NY on Friday, the #State Dept claimed.

> Colombian President Gustavo Petro has responded defiantly to the United States’ decision to revoke his visa, stating that he "doesn’t care" and criticizing Washington for its violation of international law over his stance on the war in Gaza.

“I no longer have a visa to travel to the United States. I don’t care. I don’t need a visa … because I’m not only a Colombian citizen but a European citizen, and I truly consider myself a free person in the world,” Petro said on social media on Saturday.

In a separate post, the Colombian president denounced "Israel's" crimes in Gaza by stating, "Humanity is against genocide, and in Colombia, there was a genocide against the people when fascist conservatives ordered the liberals to be defeated by blood and fire, and the genocide continued afterward, allied with drug trafficking."

Colombia's president has used opposition to Donald Trump to burnish his image as a leftist David confronting Goliath — resulting in his U.S. visa being revoked. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/28/world/politics/colombia-trump-regional-rift/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #colombia #donaldtrump #southamerica #caribbean #venezuela #un #us #usmilitary #brazil #luizinacioluladasilva #latinamerica

“Genocide must be stopped with what follows diplomacy … [We must] form an armed force to defend the lives of the Palestinian people. A powerful army is needed from countries that do not accept #genocide. That is why I invite the nations of the world and their peoples … Words are no longer enough: it is time for the sword, for Bolívar’s freedom or death, because they are not just going to bomb #Gaza, not just the #Caribbean, as they are already doing, but humanity itself".

"The #US government wants to harm thousands of peasants; [the US government] is influenced by Colombian mafia politicians. Hundreds of thousands of peasants have been massacred, just as children are being massacred in Gaza. The massacres in #Colombia were carried out by politicians, senators, presidents, and ministers who were linked to and bribed by the Colombian drug mafia, allied at the same time with the extreme right in #Florida, and now allied with the Trump administration.”"
