The United States is set to revoke the visa of Colombian Marxist President Gustavo Petro after he brazenly called on American soldiers to mutiny against their commanders and spark chaos in the streets of New York City.
Think about it — a foreign leader, right here on American soil, openly protesting against President Trump.
Petro, in town for the U.N. General Assembly, joined a pro-Hamas demonstration outside U.N. headquarters in Manhattan. He addressed the crowd in Spanish, through a translator, according to Al Jazeera.
“I ask all of the soldiers of the army of the US not to point their guns at humanity. Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity,” Petro said during the protest.
He added, “I truly believe that after the last veto of the USA before the Security Council, the diplomacy is over. The history touch us that once the diplomacy is over, the humanity has to come to another kind another struggle.”

“Earlier today, Colombian president [Petro Gustavo] stood on a NYC street and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence,” the U.S. State Department announced on social media.
“We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions.”

More from The Guardian:
Colombian media reported Petro was already en route to Bogota from New York on Friday night.
Petro was in New York for the UN general assembly, where he rebuked the Trump administration fiercely and called for a criminal inquiry into recent US strikes on alleged drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean in his Tuesday address.
Petro said unarmed “poor young people” died in the strikes – more than a dozen in total – but Washington contends the actions are part of a US anti-drug operation off the coast of Venezuela, whose president Washington accuses of running a cartel.
Trump has dispatched eight warships and a submarine to the southern Caribbean, and the biggest US deployment in years has raised fears in Venezuela of an invasion.
Petro, whose country is the world’s biggest cocaine producer, has said he suspects some of those killed in the US boat strikes were Colombian.
