Yet the State Department reportedly informed Colombian officials in Bogot\u00e1 that the meeting was unacceptable and implied Petro could be arrested if he attempted to meet with Mamdani. They based this on the fact that Petro criticized America\u2019s support for Israel\u2019s war in Gaza, as well as his urging US soldiers to disobey unlawful presidential orders to commit murder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA visa is a privilege, not a right,\u201d the State Department official said. \u201cAny individual\u2019s U.S. visa is at risk of revocation if they visit America and outrageously implore U.S. soldiers to disobey orders of the duly elected president of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not a dictator \u2014 his term ends in two months,\u201c Adam Isacson, a Colombia expert at the Washington Office on Latin America, told the Post about President Petro. \u201cIt appears that he\u2019s being punished for the crime of criticizing the Trump administration.\u201d Although Trump has personally gotten along with Petro, he also criticized Trump\u2019s military for lethal boat strikes in Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=1404\">Marjorie Taylor Green unleashes MAGA meltdown over \u2018snake\u2019 Trump<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ask all the soldiers of the army of the U.S. not to point their rifles at humanity,\u201d Petro said at the time. \u201cDisobey the orders of Trump.
