Colombian President Gustavo Petro has accused the U.S. of violating international law after his visa was revoked following his criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza and participation in a pro-Palestinian demonstration in New York City.

• Petro's U.S. visa was revoked after he joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders from then-President Donald Trump.
• Petro stated he is a "free person in the world" and the revocation for "denouncing genocide shows the U.S. no longer respects international law."
• Relations between Bogota and Washington have been strained since Donald Trump returned to office, leading to events such as Petro blocking deportation flights, recalling ambassadors, and cutting diplomatic ties with Israel in 2024.
