Gustavo Petro could be heard asking US soldiers to "disobey Trump's orders" while addressing a crowd on New York streets.

    Sigh, I remember watching a documentary about how the Secret Service protected the UN and the heads of state visiting the UN during the early/mid 2000s, this included Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran, during a time of high tension between the west and Iran.

    In the documentary, the Secret Service seemed to pride themselves on providing protection even for America’s enemies during the meetings in the UN.

    That world is long gone sadly…

    He made a speech at the UN calling for intervention to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and criticizing the US’s violence in the Caribbean, and then the US revoked his visa.
