The cancellation of the visa by the United States, Colombian President responds saying "I do not need it."

On September 27th local time, Colombian President Petro responded on social media to the US revoking his visa, emphasizing that freedom of speech should not be condemned, calling for global attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and warning that "killing innocent babies will not make America great", while also stating that he "does not need a US visa." The day before, the US State Department announced on social media that it would revoke Colombian President Petro's visa. The US stated that this was based on Petro's "reckless and inflammatory" behavior in New York that day. It was reported that Petro had given a speech to a group of US soldiers during a protest in support of Palestine in the streets of New York, urging them not to follow Trump's orders but to obey the commands of humanity.
