The United States has canceled the visa of Colombian President Gustavo Petro. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This decision was made because President Petro called on US military personnel not to obey the orders of former President Donald Trump. The US State Department described his words as dangerous and provocative.
Gustavo Petro was in the US for a United Nations meeting and recently demanded an investigation into attacks on drug-trafficking ships in the Caribbean conducted by the Trump administration. In his speech, he urged US military personnel not to use weapons against humanity and proposed disobeying Trump's orders.
The United States condemned his words as encouraging military personnel to disobey orders and inciting violence. Relations between the US and the Colombian president have cooled in recent months.
In his UN speech, Petro criticized US policy in the fight against drugs. This event may lead to new problems in relations between the two countries.
