UN approves resolution against US Cuba blockade, but support drops to lowest level in 20 years
The UN has called for an end to the US embargo against Cuba, but international support is declining. The resolution passed with 130 votes in favor, yet support is at a 20-year low. The US sanctions have led to severe shortages in Cuba, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. The US ambassador criticized the Cuban regime, prompting a heated exchange with Cuban officials during the debate. Despite the resolution's symbolic importance, only the US Congress can lift the embargo, which has been in place for over six decades.
