Cuba Alleges U.S. Pressure to Delay UN Debate on Trade Embargo
Cuba's foreign minister accused the U.S. of pressuring United Nations member states to delay a July 7 debate on the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba. The embargo, in place for decades, has been condemned by the U.N. in 31 votes, typically opposed only by the U.S. and Israel. Recent U.S. sanctions, including a fuel blockade imposed in January, have intensified economic hardships in Cuba. While Cuba reports no progress in talks with the U.S., it remains open to dialogue based on mutual respect. The U.S. has not commented on these allegations.
