[GEO.TV] Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Saturday dismissed the US decision to revoke his visa and accused Washington of violating international law over his criticism of Israel's war in Gaza.
The US said on Friday it would revoke Petro's visa after he took to New York's streets on Friday to join a pro-Palestinian demonstration and urged US soldiers to disobey President Donald Trump's orders.
"I no longer have a visa to travel to the United States. I don't care. I don't need a visa ... because I'm not only a Colombian citizen but a European citizen, and I truly consider myself a free person in the world," Petro said on social media.
| And so you are, Your Excellency. Free to go anywhere except the U.S. |
"Revoking it for denouncing genocide shows the US no longer respects international law," he added on a post on X. |
