**US to Revoke Colombia President Petro’s Visa Over ‘Reckless’ Actions in New York**
In a recent development, the United States has announced its intention to revoke the visa of Colombian President Gustavo Petro. This decision comes in response to what US officials have described as “reckless” actions by President Petro during his visit to New York.
During his speech at the 80th United Nations General Assembly held on Tuesday, President Petro made strong remarks that further strained relations between Colombia and the US. He notably criticized former US President Donald Trump, accusing him of being “complicit in genocide” in Gaza.
President Gustavo Petro addressed the global gathering at the United Nations headquarters in New York on September 23, 2025. His comments have sparked controversy and elicited a firm response from the US government.
