USA will withdraw the visa of Colombia's president Gustavo Petro due to his "reckless and inciting actions", announces the US Department of State on X.

”Earlier today, Colombia's president stood on a street in New York City and urged American soldiers not to obey orders and drive violence”, the department writes.

On Friday, Petro participated in a pro-Palestinian demonstration in New York. Petro has on social media shared a video clip where he is heard saying that he ”asks all soldiers in the US military not to aim their guns at humanity”.

Do not obey Trump's orders! Obey humanity's orders, he says.

In his speech to the UN General Assembly, on Tuesday night Swedish time, Petro said that he wants to see a criminal investigation against the US President Donald Trump.
