U.S. Criticizes Colombia President at U.N.

At a U.N. Security Council meeting on Oct. 3, 2025, U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz accused Colombian President Gustavo Petro of undermining peace and urged Bogotá to prioritize fighting violence and drug trafficking by 'narco‑terrorist groups.' The article notes the U.S. has revoked Petro’s visa after his participation in a pro‑Palestinian protest at the U.N. General Assembly and that the Trump administration has carried out a fourth deadly strike in the Caribbean on boats it says were trafficking narcotics; Washington also warned it is reviewing continued support for a U.N. political mission whose mandate expires Oct. 31, 2025.
