Trinidad and Tobago voted against a United Nations resolution on October 28, 2026, which called for an end to the US economic embargo of Cuba. This decision broke a historical streak, as the country had previously voted in favor of the resolution more than 30 times since 1992. The vote drew criticism from former Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley, who described the decision as 'shameful.'
