Last Monday, the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, reported that the Government of Donald Trump in the United States (USA) withdrew his visa and therefore he can no longer travel to the country.

“I can't go anymore because I think they took my visa away. I didn't need a visa, but hey. I've seen Donald Duck several times, so I'm going to see other things,” said the Colombian head of state during a council of ministers.

Petro made the reference to the visa when commenting that the Minister of Finance, Germán Ávila, traveled to the United States to participate this week in the meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB).

The president did not provide details on the reasons why the United States canceled his visa, but before commenting on that situation he spoke about a recent decision of the U.S. Supreme Court of Justice, apparently related to the deportation of Venezuelans to El Salvador.
