Cuban FM criticizes US diplomacy before UN vote

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez condemned the unprecedented diplomatic and economic pressure exerted by the United States on other countries to secure a vote against a resolution denouncing the embargo imposed on Cuba for over six decades. The resolution, scheduled to be voted on at the United Nations on October 28, aims to eliminate the economic, commercial, and financial blockade, including for the first time the fuel and energy embargo imposed by Washington in January 2026. The minister noted that the embargo has cost Cuba over $178.7 billion and that U.S. pressures seek to threaten the sovereignty of other nations and alter their positions through methods that include threats, sanctions, and coercion. He described these measures as a form of genocide that destroys the fabric of nations. He also criticized the U.S. government for attempting to continue cover-ups and violations, expressing concern that what is happening to Cuba could happen to any other country. It is worth mentioning that the previous draft resolution was submitted by Cuba last year, receiving support from 165 countries, with 7 opposing and 12 abstaining, amid increased international attention on the U.S. blockade of the island.
