UNITED NATIONS – For the 30th year, the United Nations General Assembly votes overwhelming to condemn the American economic embargo of Cuba.

The Biden administration continues the Trump administration’s enforcement of the embargo even though it was Obama’s administration that abstained in 2016.

Just ahead of the vote, Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, said since 2019 the U.S. has escalated the siege around Cuba, taking it to an even crueler and more humane dimension, inflicting the biggest possible damage on Cuban families.

He went on to say that in the first 14 months of the Biden administration, the damage to the

Cuban economy was estimated at $6.3 billion which works out to more than $15 million a day.
