Argentina Shifts Stance on US Embargo on Cuba
Argentina has broken with decades of policy by backing the US embargo on Cuba in a United Nations vote.
The decision, made by President Javier Milei's government, marks a significant change in foreign policy and distances Argentina from the broad international consensus opposing Washington's sanctions.
The United Nations has urged Washington to lift the restrictions for 33 consecutive years, condemning them as a violation of international law and a source of economic hardship for the Cuban population.
- Argentina voted in favour of the US embargo on Cuba at the UN General Assembly.
- The decision ends over three decades of consistent votes by Argentina in support of the annual resolution calling for an end to the US embargo.
