His leadership style and policies have drawn comparisons to the likes of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro and Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega.
Petro, known for his provocative statements, recently claimed that the Trump administration has revoked his visa, effectively barring him from visiting the United States.

As reported by the New York Post, Petro made this assertion during a Cabinet meeting in Bogotá. He cited the alleged visa revocation as the reason for his absence from the spring meetings hosted by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Washington, D.C. "I can no longer go because I believe they took away my visa," Petro stated.

However, there has been no official confirmation from the U.S. government regarding this claim. A State Department spokesperson refrained from commenting, citing the confidentiality of visa records, while an official at the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá mentioned that "no formal notification of visa revocation" had been issued.

Petro's relationship with President Donald J. Trump has been fraught with tension. Earlier this year, Petro yielded to pressure from President Trump to accept deported migrants, a move that has not softened his rhetoric against the U.S. leader. Despite professing indifference to the visa issue, Petro's remarks suggest otherwise. "I didn’t need to have one, but anyway, I’ve already seen Donald Duck several times, so I’ll go see other things," he quipped, taking a jab at President Trump.
Petro's rhetoric often harks back to the revolutionary language of the 1970s. He declared, "I survived torture, and I will resist you. Make me fall, President [Trump], and the Americas and humanity will respond." Amidst the diplomatic tensions over the acceptance of illegal migrants returned from the U.S., Petro controversially stated, "Cocaine is no worse than Whisky," and suggested that the drug trade could be dismantled if cocaine were legalized globally, likening its sale to that of wine.
