Petro vs. Trump: Visa Revoked, UN HQ Moves to Doha?
In a spicy diplomatic episode fit for prime-time telenovelas, Colombian President Gustavo Petro caught the Trump administration's wrath after speaking at a New York pro-Palestinian rally where he declared 'diplomacy is over.' The U.S. State Department promptly revoked Petro's visa on Friday, accusing him of 'reckless and incendiary actions.' Petro fired back on X, accusing Trump of violating UN founding principles and tossing out a proposal to relocate the UN headquarters to Doha â because, why not? Meanwhile, the U.S. insists it supports the Colombian people but not their lefty president who's cosying up to Venezuelan dictator Maduro. Tariffs, sanctions, and geopolitical soap opera, anyone?
