Argentina backs US embargo on Cuba, breaking with decades of policy

Argentina Shifts Policy on US Embargo on Cuba

Argentina has voted in favor of the US embargo on Cuba at the United Nations General Assembly, marking a significant change in its foreign policy.

The decision, made by President Javier Milei's government, breaks with over three decades of consistent votes by Argentina in support of the annual resolution calling for an end to the US embargo on Cuba.

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.
