Die USA entziehen dem linksgerichteten kolumbianischen Präsidenten Gustavo Petro nach eigenen Angaben das Visum. Petro habe US-Soldaten aufgefordert, "Befehle zu missachten und zu Gewalt anzustacheln".

Overview

  • The State Department announced on X that it will revoke Gustavo Petro’s U.S. visa, calling his conduct reckless and incendiary.
  • Officials allege Petro stood on a New York street and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and to incite violence.
  • The post was issued while the UN General Assembly’s General Debate was underway in New York.
  • The department did not provide additional details or evidence to substantiate the allegation at the time of the announcement.
  • Earlier in September, the United States removed Colombia from its counter-narcotics partner list, and President Donald Trump cited record coca cultivation and cocaine production under Petro.
