The U.S. moved to revoke President Gustavo Petro's visa, citing what it called reckless and incendiary actions. Petro attended a pro-Palestinian rally in New York and encouraged protests, saying through a translator that "diplomacy is over." Petro said on X that he was expressing his "opinions freely" and invoked international law, calling genocide a crime against humanity and urging global response, while accusing Mr. Trump of violating UN founding principles and proposing Doha as a new UN headquarters. Separately, the U.S. hit Colombia with tariffs and sanctions after Colombia refused U.S. deportation flights, increasing bilateral tensions.
