In a recent development, the United States has announced plans to revoke the visa of Colombian President Gustavo Petro following what it described as his “reckless” actions during his visit to New York.

During his speech to the global gathering on Tuesday at the 80th United Nations General Assembly, President Petro also criticized former US President Donald Trump. He accused Trump of being “complicit in genocide” in Gaza, drawing significant international attention.
