Colombian President Gustavo Petro reported that the Trump administration has revoked his visa to enter the United States, preventing him from traveling to the North American country. The news was shared by Petro during a cabinet meeting at the Nariño House, the Executive's headquarters, on Monday, April 21.
In his statements, Petro mentioned: "I can no longer go because I believe they took away my visa. I didn't need to have a visa, but okay. I've seen Donald Duck (referring to Trump) several times, so I'm going to see other things."
The Colombian president alluded to the visa issue while commenting that Finance Minister Germán Ávila traveled to Washington to participate in the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) this week. The situation with Petro's visa is an ongoing issue that has generated various reactions in public opinion.
