@telesurenglish: #Cuba | A tense diplomatic exchange unfolded at the United Nations General Assembly as Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez challenged U.S. representatives during discussions on Washington’s decades-long economic blockade against the island. Invoking Rule 71 of the General Assembly’s rules of procedure, Rodríguez repeatedly raised points of order, rejecting what he described as false accusations against Cuba and calling for respect toward the Cuban government and its people. The confrontation highlighted ongoing tensions between Havana and Washington as the international community debates the impact of U.S. sanctions on Cuba’s economy and population. Cuba has consistently denounced the blockade as a violation of international law, arguing that restrictions on trade, financial transactions and access to essential resources have severely affected the country’s development and the daily lives of its citizens. The exchange comes amid renewed international scrutiny of U.S. policy toward Cuba, with the General Assembly serving as a key forum for countries to express their positions on the longstanding dispute. #UNGA #BrunoRodriguez #USBlockade #teleSUREnglish
