Colombian President Gustavo Petro dropped a fiery tweetstorm after the U.S. revoked his visa this week, declaring: "I don't need it." The move comes amid escalating tensions over Petro's vocal criticism of U.S. policies in Gaza, where he accused Washington of enabling "killing innocent babies" to pursue geopolitical goals. 💥
"Freedom of speech must not be criminalized," Petro wrote, doubling down on his remarks at a pro-Palestinian protest in New York last month. There, he urged U.S. soldiers to "obey humanity rather than Trump's orders" – a jab at the former president's legacy. 🎤🇺🇸
The U.S. State Department called Petro's actions "reckless and incendiary," but the Colombian leader isn't backing down. Analysts say the clash highlights growing global divides over Middle East conflicts and free speech limits. 🌍⚖️
Young activists online are rallying behind Petro's defiance, with #FreeSpeech trends spiking in Latin America. Could this visa drama reshape U.S.-Colombia relations? Stay tuned. 🔥
