The US canceled Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s visa. This happened after Petro called on US soldiers not to obey Donald Trump’s orders. The State Department described his remarks as “dangerous and provocative.”
Petro was in the US for a UN meeting and in those days demanded an investigation into attacks against drug trafficking ships in the Caribbean, conducted by the Trump administration.
