The United States has announced the imposition of a visa restriction against Colombian President Gustavo Petro. This action stems from a recent post on Petro’s social media platform, which included video clips of him participating in a demonstration supporting pro-Palestinian causes in New York City. The content details his engagement with demonstrators, prompting concerns regarding potential political statements or actions that could be interpreted as undermining diplomatic relations. The U.S. has stated this restriction is a result of a review of his public statements and their potential impact on U.S. interests.
