Colombian President Gustavo Petro has accused the United States of violating international law after the U.S. revoked visas for him and several other Colombian officials, according to Reuters. At the event, Petro urged U.S. soldiers to disobey President Donald Trump’s orders in Gaza, which include forced displacement, an act illegal under international law. Petro blasted the visa cancellations as an affront to Colombian sovereignty, signaling a new low in U.S.-Colombia relations. For decades, Colombia has long been one of Washington’s closest allies in Latin America. For Petro and many in Latin America, Washington’s decision embodies a familiar pattern of neocolonial interventionism.
