They wish you weren’t here.
The State Department announced Friday that it will revoke the visa of Colombian President Gustavo Petro after he called on US troops to “disobey” President Trump during a New York City protest with controversial Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters.
“Earlier today, Colombian president [Gustavo Petro] stood on a NYC street and urged US soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence,” the State Department posted on X.
“We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions.”
Petro, who was in town for the United Nations General Assembly, got on a bullhorn outside the UN’s headquarters and called for “soldiers of the army of the United States not to point their guns at people.”
“Disobey the orders of Trump,” he told a crowd of anti-Israel activists. “Obey the orders of humanity!”
Waters, the British co-founder of Pink Floyd, was standing by Petro’s side as the Colombian leader called for the uprising.
The pair later posed for photos next to a large Palestinian flag.
Petro, a former leftist guerrilla, quickly reversed course after Trump threat and even offered the US use of his presidential plane to transfer the migrants back to Colombia.
Waters is a staunch critic of Israel and an outspoken supporter of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.
Comment:
What this is about is president Petro is protesting President Trump using our Coast Guard to attack the narco drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea.
Trump has declared war on the drug cartels.
Petro is trying to protect the drug cartels.
