The State Department revoked Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s visa, the agency announced on social media Friday night, accusing the South American leader of urging “soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence” in a New York rally.

“We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions,” the department wrote in a post on X.

Petro had called on American and Israeli troops not to sanction a genocide in Gaza, and called for a fighting force larger than that of the U.S. and Israel combined to come to the enclave’s aid, in front of a cheering New York City crowd on Friday.

“I believe with the recent veto the U.S. exercised at the Security Council, diplomacy ended,” he said in a video posted to his Youtube account Friday. “Human history has shown us across millennia that when diplomacy ends, we must pass to a different stage of struggle. What is happening in Gaza is a genocide. There’s no need to call it anything else. Its objective is to eliminate the Palestinian people.”

The Colombian president confirmed his visa had been taken away in a post on X Saturday, in which he accused the U.S. government of “no longer honor[ing] international law.”

“What the U.S. government is doing to me breaks all the rules around immunity which have undergirded the United Nations and the General Assembly,” he said. “Presidents have total immunity to attend the Assembly and the U.S. cannot condition that on their opinions of the United States.”

The announcement from the State Department came just days after Petro slammed the White House and called for an end to Israel’s incursion into Gaza, in a separate address Tuesday before the United Nations General Assembly.

“Washington and NATO are killing democracy. And they are spreading totalitarianism at the global level,” he charged, before arguing that the “United States no longer teaches Democracy but rather kill, kill democracy, especially among its immigrants, filled with greed.”

When asked if its block will bar Petro from attending United Nations gatherings in the future, the State Department pointed back to its tweet from Friday night.

It’s not the first clash between Trump and Petro. Less than one week into his second term in January, Trump threatened major consequences for Colombia after Petro turned away two flights loaded with Colombian deportees, announcing a 25 percent tariff on all imports, visa restrictions and a travel ban.

Trump claimed victory just hours later, when Petro relented on the return of the migrants, and the White House pulled back on its sanctions threat.
