US and Cuba Clash at UN as Washington Seeks to Sway Annual Economic Embargo Vote
The Trump administration pressed diplomats to oppose the embargo resolution while Cuba countered with protests and accusations of political repression.
- The United States and Cuba clashed Monday at the United Nations as the Trump administration campaigned to build opposition for an upcoming annual resolution condemning the U.S. economic embargo against Havana.
- For 34 years, the annual vote has appeared before the General Assembly, while the Trump administration continues its 'maximum pressure policy' aiming to force political change on the island.
- U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz hosted a 'Cuba Libre' panel featuring dissidents and former prisoners, while Cuban Ambassador Ernesto Sober gathered allies to protest the event as a 'charade.'
- Since 2020, Cuba's 10 million residents have endured food shortages, inflation, and power outages, prompting waves of protests and the migration of hundreds of thousands of Cubans to the United States.
- Urging nations to look past '70 years of propaganda,' Waltz pushed for opposition to next week's resolution, though it typically receives overwhelming support from the General Assembly's 193 member states.
