Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced on Saturday that the US has revoked his visa, which he dismissed, stating he doesn't need it as a "free person." Petro accused Washington of violating international law by revoking his visa for criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza, referencing a UN inquiry alleging genocide. He previously urged US soldiers to disobey orders and "obey humanity" during a UN assembly speech. Colombia's foreign ministry condemned the visa revocation as a "diplomatic weapon," contrary to UN principles.
