The U.S. in September had revoked Petro's visa after he joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration in New York following a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly and called on U.S. soldiers to "disobey the orders of Trump."

Petro, who has been a vocal opponent of Israel's war in Gaza, had accused Trump of being "complicit in genocide" in Gaza and called for "criminal proceedings" over U.S. missile attacks on suspected drug-running boats in Caribbean waters.
