It&#8217;s a message to all leaders: you get aligned, (or) you&#8217;re gonna be punished.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The sanctions imposed on Petro on Oct. 24 followed months of friction between Mr. Trump and Petro over U.S. migrant deportations and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-administration-strikes-another-alleged-drug-boat-pacific-killing-4\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">strikes on suspected drug boats<\/a><\/span> off the coast of South America.<\/p>\n<p>In an\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-drug-boat-strikes-colombia-president-petro-attacks-easy-but-illegal-ineffective\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">exclusive conversation<\/a><\/span>\u00a0with CBS News earlier this month, Petro claimed some of those killed by the U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats have been innocent civilians, and he reiterated his accusation that the attacks violate international law. The White House has denied that innocent civilians were killed in the boat strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Petro, a former left-wing guerrilla, has vehemently denied any involvement in drug trafficking and argued that the cocaine trade is being fueled chiefly by demand in the United States and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the U.S. State Department announced it was <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/u-s-revokes-visa-for-president-of-colombia-gustavo-petro\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">revoking Petro&#8217;s visa<\/a><\/span> after he participated in a New York protest where he called on American soldiers to disobey Mr. Trump&#8217;s orders.<\/p>\n<p>The department\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/StateDept\/status\/1971758644929925312\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said on social media<\/a>\u00a0that Petro &#8220;stood on a NYC street and urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence.
