flag The UN General Assembly passed a resolution on October 29, 2025, calling for an end to the U.S. embargo on Cuba, with 165 votes in favor, 7 against—including the U.S., Argentina, Hungary, Israel, North Macedonia, Paraguay, and Ukraine—and 12 abstentions. flag This marks the 33rd consecutive year the resolution was adopted, though support declined from 187 in 2024, reflecting shifting global dynamics. flag The vote occurred amid Hurricane Melissa’s devastation of Cuba and increased U.S. military activity in the Caribbean. flag Cuban officials accused the U.S. of pressuring nations to oppose the resolution, while U.S. diplomats dismissed the vote as political theater. flag The U.S. maintains its sanctions are targeted measures, not a blockade, and continues to oppose the resolution.
