US revokes Colombian president's visa over 'reckless and incendiary' remarks

US revokes Colombian President Gustavo Petro's visa after "reckless and incendiary" remarks urging US soldiers to disobey Trump's orders during a UN speech in New York. Petro's visa was canceled as he was exiting the US following the speech. The State Department condemned Petro's comments at a pro-Palestinian protest, leading to the visa revocation. This action comes amidst strained relations between Petro, leading Colombia's left-wing government, and the Trump administration over US airstrikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean.
