Colombian president stunned his US visa has been revoked... and reveals nickname for Trump in response

Colombian President Gustavo Petro is seemingly no longer welcome in the United States.

Petro, a former member of the 19th of April Movement guerrilla group and Colombia's first leftist president, claimed the Trump administration revoked his visa to attend meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

He is instead be replaced by the Minister of Finance Germán Avila, who is in Washington, D.C. this week.

The major international snub comes after Donald Trump threatened 'decisive retaliatory measures' against government officials over Colombia's refusal to let two US Military flights full of migrants land in January.

'I can't go anymore because I think they've revoked my visa,' Petro said during a Council of Ministers meeting on Monday.

'I didn't need a visa, but hey, I've seen Donald Duck several times. So, I'm off to see other things.'

It was unclear when exactly Petro had his travel visa suspended. DailyMail.com reached out to the Department of State for comment.

Petro previously visited the United States in September 2024 for a climate conference in Chicago, as well as the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Arrogance, while holding a weak position, does not work well with President Trump.
Just ask Zelinsky ...

You can bet that all the hundreds of millions in subsidies sent to Columbia each year are gone.

From what I see, many of the minor world players bought into the Liberal/Democrat/NeverTrumper narrative that Trump is a stupid buffoon who is not really the President and should not be taken seriously.

Conversely, serious world leaders such as Russia, China, France, Italy, Israel, African nations, Asian nations, etc., do not dismiss Trump at all. They know better. They are scrambling to meet with him and to establish a good relationship.

It is the minor 'punk' nations who approach President Trump with a dismissive arrogant attitude. They are not used to an American President who does not kiss their ass for using their nation as a money laundering front.

They will learn those 'kickback' days which gave them power over the United States no longer apply. If one of the banana republic kickback nations tries to blackmail Trump by threatening to go public, the Trump administration would fiercely encourage them to do it. They have lost all their leverage. They just don't know it yet.

Very true. There are several reports in the MSM that Trump and Putin have gay sex. (ref. dossier)
Putin has secretly visited Mar a Lago several times through a secret tunnel so they can be together.
When Trump ends his term, the two plan to move in together. Love cannot be denied, just like Obama and Michelle.

That little clever smart remark, cost the nation of Columbia countless hundreds of millions in subsidies and other humanitarian aid.
Generally, Trump has enough common sense not to insult people who are paying him.

Petro, apparently is not very bright. Like Zelinsky, he does not seem to understand who has the power position.
And like Zelinsky, in a couple of months he will be begging to meet with President Trump to work things out.

I'm waiting for Trump to refer to the President of Colombia as 'Juan Valdez'.

More likely Trump would refer to him as Conchita, the name of Juan Valdez’s mule.

Nonsense!

Trump's approach to Putin is so Trump.  He usually praises everyone to get what he wants.  That is a tactic, and does not reflect his endorsement of anyone.

I am sure Trump considers Putin to be an evil man, who has managed to back himself in a corner, and would gladly squander the young men of Russia, and now North Korea too, too preserve his power.  Trump has clearly made it known his abhorrence of war and killing.  So, if he has to talk nicely to an evil POS like Putin, I do not have a problem with that.  As the old saying goes, you get more with honey than you do with vinegar.

The person that is the enigma is Zelinsky.  He wants to keep changing his mind on what is acceptable, and it is complicating the effort our government is making.

The facts are plain to see.  Putin is no Hitler.  And the present day Russian military is a joke, to put it politely.  A major joke.  1940s Germany would easily role over Russia today.  The Russian military is poorly trained, and apparently poorly equipped.  And Russia does not have the military industrial complex nor the money to wage war against humanity for a prolonged period of time.  I have seen quite a few presentations that Russia will be financially on its back sometime this fall.  If that is the case, all Trump need do is wait Putin out.  Same for Zelinsky.  Russia has ordered up 160,000 more recruits for its meat grinder of a military.  How many of those wen will die in the first few weeks of being in theater? 

Putin is a fool not to take Trump up on his generous stance to end the war.  Believe me, Trump will not remain generous much longer.
