Cuba Slams US UN Event as Bid to Undermine Anti-Embargo Resolution

Cuba's UN envoy Ernesto Soberón denounced a US-organized side event at the UN as a move to erode support for the annual General Assembly resolution condemning the US embargo. The Cuban statement frames the US event as outside the UN agenda and lacking transparency, signaling a diplomatic clash ahead of the vote. The resolution's passage is near-certain, but the US push may signal a harder line on Cuba policy.
