In September, the Colombian president left the US within hours of Washington revoking his visa for what it said were his \u201creckless and incendiary actions\u201d while in New York attending the United Nations General Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, Petro had addressed a crowd protesting against Israel\u2019s war on Gaza outside UN headquarters, where he called on US soldiers to \u201cdisobey the orders of Trump\u201d and \u201cobey the orders of humanity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to his visa being taken away, he said: \u201cRevoking it for denouncing genocide shows the US no longer respects international law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More recently, the US Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on Petro, his family and the South American country\u2019s interior minister, Armando Benedetti, accusing him of failing to rein in Colombia\u2019s cocaine industry and of shielding criminal groups from accountability.<\/p>\n<p>Petro\u2019s announcement on Tuesday came as a US aircraft carrier arrived in the Caribbean Sea, fuelling speculation the Trump administration is considering escalating its military action in the region, which has primarily targeted the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a longtime US rival.<\/p>\n<p>The Pentagon confirmed that the Gerald R Ford Carrier Strike Group, which includes the world\u2019s largest aircraft carrier, had arrived in the Caribbean with at least 4,000 sailors and \u201ctactical aircraft\u201d on board.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">Se da orden a todos los niveles de la inteligencia de la fuerza p\u00fablica suspender env\u00edo de comunicaciones y otros tratos con agencias de seguridad estadounidenses.
