Story summary

The UN General Assembly voted on October 28, 2026, condemning the US's decades-long economic embargo on Cuba, with 130 countries in favor, 17 against (including the US and Israel), and 25 abstentions. This marks the 34th consecutive year of such a vote. The resolution saw fewer supporters this year compared to previous years, when over 160 nations typically supported it. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez claimed that the US was "once again isolated" in its efforts to maintain the embargo, asserting that no amount of pressure could overcome "the force of facts and truth." Cuba accused Washington of attempting to coerce other countries into opposing the resolution.

Still, Hurrelmann said Carney and von der Leyen are "keen to maintain" the buzz around such phrasing.
