What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on October 29, 2026, calling for an end to the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba, with 130 member states voting in favor and 17 against. During the debate, Mike Waltz confronted the Cuban mission, presenting images of alleged elite luxuries in a session that was briefly suspended when Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla advanced toward the podium. The resolution specifically expressed concern over the extraterritorial effects of laws like the 1996 Helms-Burton Act of the United States.

The vote, which was supported by countries like Fiji, highlights international criticism of the policy for allegedly violating international law and causing hardship. The debate also included Mike Waltz presenting alleged evidence of corruption within the Cuban regime.
