Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s final address to the 80th United Nations General Assembly was a passionate condemnation of US and global power abuses, with sharp criticism reserved for President Trump. Petro accused Trump of “descertifying” Colombia and undermining progressive governments due to pressure from mafia-linked politicians. He denounced Trump’s anti-drug and immigration policies—blaming them for violence against Latin American migrants, ruined anti-narcotics efforts, and missile strikes against unarmed youth. Petro further leveled accusations of complicity in the Gaza conflict, likening Trump’s actions to support for genocide and totalitarianism, and asserting the need for a “revolution of united humanity” against racism, greed, and climate inaction.
