Today’s UN vote saw 191 countries support Cuba’s resolution against the blockade, with just the United States and Israel voting against. Unlike previously, this year there were no abstentions.
Speaking before the vote, the U.S. representative to the UN claimed that his country could not support the text of theresolution against the blockade, considering the new measuresthey have taken.
However, these measures are insufficient and do not significantly alter the application of the blockade, which continues to cause huge damages to the Cuban economy.
