The United States has said it would revoke Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s visa after he took to New York’s streets in a pro-Palestinian demonstration and urged US soldiers to disobey President Donald Trump’s orders, Reuters reports.

“We will revoke Petros visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions,” the State Department posted on X.

Petro, addressing a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters outside the UN headquarters in Manhattan, called for a global armed force with the priority to liberate Palestinians, adding, “This force has to be bigger than that of the United States.”

“That’s why from here, from New York, I ask all the soldiers of the army of the United States not to point their guns at people. Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity,” Petro said in Spanish.
