US persuades more countries to oppose UN resolution on Cuba embargo
Original: US sways more countries to oppose UN resolution condemning its Cuba embargo
The United States has persuaded more countries to vote against, or abstain on, the annual UN General Assembly resolution condemning Washington's decades-long embargo on Cuba. The resolution has passed overwhelmingly every year since 1992, so a shift in the vote count marks a notable diplomatic gain for Washington. The change comes as the Trump administration intensifies pressure on Havana and presses allies to side with it.
Why now: A shift in the long-standing UN vote on the Cuba embargo signals a change in US diplomatic influence.
