Support for UN vote to end US embargo on Cuba falls to 30-year low

The UN General Assembly has called for an end to the US embargo on Cuba, but support for the resolution has dropped significantly. The latest vote saw 130 countries in favor, marking the lowest support since 1995. This decline follows years of overwhelming backing, with notable abstentions from Germany, Italy, and Latvia. The US embargo, in place since 1960, has intensified under renewed pressure from Washington, which includes sanctions affecting Cuba's economy. Tensions escalated during the vote, with confrontations between US and Cuban officials. Despite US claims, Cuba's leadership argues that the embargo is the root cause of their economic struggles, while the Cuban government accuses the US of coercive tactics to sway international opinion.
