U.S. Orders Cuban Diplomat Expelled After UN Confrontation
Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed the expulsion order after officials said the diplomat shoved an American representative and tried to seize a recording phone.
- On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed paperwork expelling a Cuban diplomat after U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz accused the official of shoving an American diplomat at the United Nations General Assembly.
- The expulsion followed a heated confrontation Tuesday during an embargo debate, where Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla interrupted Waltz's remarks and approached the podium while shouting.
- Video evidence showed the Cuban first secretary grabbing a phone as a U.S. official recorded the spat; the General Assembly overwhelmingly passed a resolution condemning the embargo 130-17 on Wednesday.
- The State Department confirmed Wednesday the diplomat departed within the 24-hour deadline, as Waltz reiterated the administration will not tolerate physical intimidation of American representatives.
- Under the 1961 Vienna Convention, the United States maintains authority to expel foreign diplomats without providing reasons, marking a rare escalation in the ongoing diplomatic standoff with the Cuban government.
