United Nations, United States: The UN General Assembly condemned the nearly 60-year-old US embargo on Cuba for the 29th year in a row on Wednesday, calling for it to end by a vote of 184 to two. Only Israel voted with the US against the resolution. Three other US allies: Ukraine, UAE and Colombia abstained. Brazil, which voted with the United States in 2019, did not vote. The vote was canceled last year due to coronavirus for the first time since 1992.
