UN holds annual vote on condemning US embargo on Cuba
The United Nations is set to vote on a resolution condemning the decades-long U.S. economic embargo on Cuba as the Trump administration intensifies its campaign to undermine Cuba’s socialist government. The annual exercise taking place Wednesday is aimed at calling out the U.S. government’s “maximum pressure policy,” and the resolution has been put before the U.N. General Assembly for the past 34 years. Each time, it has received overwhelming support from the 193 member states.
And while it is still expected to pass by a large margin this year, it is unclear if the Trump administration’s overt campaign to influence the vote will result in more opposition or abstentions than in previous years.
