Overview

• The State Department announced on X that it will revoke Gustavo Petro’s visa, describing his conduct as “reckless and seditious.”
• In a street gathering near the UN, Petro urged U.S. soldiers to refuse President Trump’s orders and to “obey the commands of humanity.”
• Officials released no additional details or publicly available evidence to support the allegation.
• Petro’s office and Colombia’s Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
• The move follows a broader rupture as the U.S. decertified Colombia on counternarcotics and Petro limited some coca-eradication operations while denouncing Trump at the UN over Gaza and U.S. maritime strikes.
