That is the path that led to the holocaust of the Jews. No democratic-minded person in Latin America can accept that all of the Venezuelan people in exile are criminalized because of the crimes of the so-called &lsquo;Tren de Aragua.&rsquo;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>However, if Petro&rsquo;s claim that he was being denied a U.S. visa was meant to draw attention to his jeremiads against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bukele-called-greatest-time-smackdown-gave-dem-sen-trying-return-maryland-man-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bukele<\/a> and Trump, there was a slight hitch: The denial or revocation of a visa does not appear to have happened.<\/p>\n<p>While the State Department declined to comment due to the confidentiality of visa records, the U.S. Embassy in Bogot&aacute; said that &ldquo;no formal notification of visa revocation&rdquo; was issued for Petro.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Colombian Foreign Minister Laura Sarabia is scheduled to travel to New York for an address to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/xi-jinping-pushing-monumental-change-israel-china-joins-multiple-nations-now-looking-fracture-holy-land\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United Nations Security Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy also comes as Petro has alienated both the United States and regional trade partners, particularly on drug control issues.
