UN votes overwhelmingly to condemn American economic embargo of Cuba for 30th year, with US, Israel opposing it, and Brazil, Ukraine abstaining
During the first 14 months of the Biden administration, damage to Cuban economy was estimated at $6.35 billion, says Cuban FM Rodriguez.
Biden has eased some sanctions on communist-run Cuba implemented by his predecessor, Donald Trump, loosening tough US restrictions around remittances, flights, tourism, and migration. "We join international partners in urging the Cuban government to release political prisoners immediately and unconditionally and to protect the freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly of all individuals in Cuba."Cuba's representative at the United Nations, Yuri Gala, lashed back during the UN session in New York, calling US allegations of rights violations false.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said before the vote that since 2019, the US government "has escalated the siege around our country, taking it to an even crueller and more humane dimension, with the purpose of deliberately inflicting the biggest possible damage on Cuban families."
