• United Nations Condemns US Trade Restrictions Against Cuba, Votes With Near Unanimity

    The United Nations voted with near unanimously in favor, on Tuesday, of a resolution criticizing the United States embargo on Cuba, with only two opposing votes. The United States, along with its close ally Israel, both voted "no" on the resolution. Many had hoped the United States would take a softer stance considering the recent diplomatic strides taken by each nation, however, the U.S. cast the "no" vote because it felt the language did not reflect the spirit of "opening" between the two countries according to CNN.
