**Colombian President Petro Accuses US of Violating International Law After Visa Revocation**
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has accused the United States of violating international law following the revocation of his visa. The US decision came shortly after President Petro called for a pro-Palestinian force “bigger than the United States” during an event outside the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
President Petro made these remarks addressing pro-Palestinian demonstrators at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, located just outside the UN headquarters. His comments were made during the 80th United Nations General Assembly, held in New York City, USA, on September 26, 2025.
The revocation of the visa has sparked diplomatic tensions, with Petro criticizing the US government’s actions in response to his speech and stance on international issues.
