The United States has revoked the visa of Colombian President Gustavo Petro due to what it describes as "reckless actions" that have impacted U.S.-Colombia relations. The decision was announced on September 27, 2025, and reflects concerns over Petro's recent policies and statements that the U.S. considers destabilizing or harmful to bilateral interests. In response, Colombia's government condemned the move, asserting that it undermines diplomatic relations and accusing the U.S. of overreach. Petro's administration emphasized its commitment to sovereignty and indicated it would continue to pursue policies aligned with national interests, despite the visa revocation.
