Colombian President Gustavo Petro is claiming Donald Trump and his administration are not allowing him to enter the United States.
During a Tuesday, April 22, press conference, the 65-year-old slammed the Republican leader for allegedly revoking his visa, keeping him from attending gatherings hosted by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Washington, D.C.

When Gustavo Petro was asked by a reporter about why he would not be present at the festivities in America, he claimed, "I can no longer go because I believe they took away my visa."
In the next breath, he shadily added of Donald Trump, "I didn't need to have one, but anyway, I've already seen Donald Duck several times, so I'll go see other things."
In a response given to the New York Post, a State Department representative made clear, "Visa records are confidential under US law; therefore, we cannot discuss the details of individual visa cases."

After Donald Trump retook office in January, he and Gustavo Petro disagreed over migrant deportations. In turn, the right-winger threatened Columbia with higher tariffs and heightened inspections for natives traveling to the United States.
"I do not authorize the entry of North American planes carrying Colombian migrants into our territory," Petro wrote on X. "The U.S. must establish a protocol of dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them."

Gustavo Petro eventually relented to Donald Trump and offered his plane to fly alleged illegal migrants from the United States back to Columbia.
"Today's events make clear to the world that America is respected again," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt remarked about the move during a media briefing.

Despite the tension, homeland security secretary Kristi Noem made a trip to Columbia in March and met with foreign minister Laura Sarabia.
"We're going to strengthen our regional security systems and make sure that we're disrupting the movement of threatening actors that perpetuate illegal activity and also facilitate illegal trafficking of migrants across the Western Hemisphere," the former governor of South Dakota said about relations between the two nations, according to Fox News.
"Through this expansion of sharing of biometric data, it will be much more efficient, effective, accurate and it will also build cooperation that will open doors to new ways that we can continue to work together," Noem emphasized.
