Colombia's president's visa was suddenly revoked by the United States, and tensions between the two countries further escalated

[Global Times reporter He Shan] Colombian President Petro was revoked by the US government for publicly calling on American soldiers to disobey President Trump's orders in new york. This situation has further aggravated the tension between the two countries.

According to reports from CNN, the Washington Post and other media on the 27th, on the 26th local time, Petro participated in a demonstration in support of Palestine outside the United Nations headquarters in New York. At the rally, he called for the establishment of an "army to save the world", saying that this force must be larger than the U.S. army, and its "first task is to liberate Palestine".

In the live video released by the media, Petro shouted: "I call on all American soldiers not to point their guns at humans. Don't obey Trump's orders! Obey human orders!" This remark quickly triggered a strong reaction from the United States. The U.S. State Department subsequently posted on social platform X: "Earlier today, the President of Colombia appeared on the streets of New York, encouraging American soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence. In view of his reckless and inflammatory behavior, we will revoke his visa."

According to the Colombian Presidential Office, when the U.S. State Department announced the cancellation of his visa, Petro had left the U.S. on a flight. He also said he had Italian citizenship, "In principle, no visa is required to enter the U.S." Colombian Interior Minister Benedetti wrote on the X-Platform: "The only person who should be cancelled is (Israeli Prime Minister) Netanyahu, the United Nations has today unanimously recognized him as 'not worthy of being a citizen of the world.'"

In January, just a week after Trump’s opening of his second term, Petro prevented two U.S. aircraft carrying deported migrants from landing in the country, accusing the United States of “treating Colombian immigrants as criminals.”

It is worth mentioning that in the past few days, on the streets of new york, the "three consecutive blockages" episode caused by the US presidential motorcade has also aroused public concern. From 22nd to 25th local time, French President Macron, Turkish President Erdogan and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung were stopped by the police for a short stop because Trump's motorcade passed by. Macron even took out his mobile phone and "spit" directly to Trump: "Guess what? I'm waiting on the street right now because I want to make way for you."
