The Trump administration is ejecting a Cuban diplomat from the US, a decision that comes after a shouting match between US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz and the Cuban diplomat during a United Nations session on the US economic embargo against Cuba — and as administration officials increasingly raise the specter of US action on the island. cnn.it/4z7Axsd

The U.S. expelled a Cuban diplomat after the island country’s foreign minister loudly interrupted an address by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz criticizing Havana’s leadership, and the two shouted at one another on.wsj.com/4zbT1IJ

Cuban Regime Thug Expelled: The U.S. has expelled the Cuban diplomat caught smacking an American diplomat’s cellphone as Cuba’s delegation stormed the UN dais in a bid to shut down @USAmbUN Mike Waltz. Havana's attempts to silence the truth backfired. nitter.gq/USAmbUN/status/2115133…

Last week, Congressman @MarioDB received NED’s 2026 Champion of Freedom Democracy Award for his longstanding support for democracy and freedom’s defenders worldwide.
Hear from Venezuelan Nobel Peace Prize laureate @MariaCorinaYA and Lithuanian parliamentarian @ZygisPavilionis about what his leadership has meant for people working to advance freedom around the world.

הצבענו היום, כמדי שנה, נגד ההחלטה השנתית שמקדמת קובה באו״ם.
קובה היא דיקטטורה צבאית אכזרית, המדכאת את אזרחיה ושוללת מהם חירויות בסיסיות.
ישראל גאה לעמוד לצדה של ארצות הברית בנושא כה חשוב לאומה האמריקאית! 🇮🇱🇺🇸

Today, as we do every year, we voted against the annual resolution put forward by Cuba at the UN.
Cuba is a brutal military dictatorship that oppresses its citizens and denies them basic freedoms.
Israel is proud to stand alongside the United States on an issue of such great importance to the American people! 🇮🇱🇺🇸

Today, the Czech Republic joined the United States and others in voting against Cuba’s resolution at the United Nations. The facts are incontrovertible. The regime in Havana bears sole responsibility for the suffering of its people. @StateDept @SecRubio @CZinWashington @UN

Last week, Cuban diplomats harassed former political prisoners at the @UN. Yesterday, they tried to intimidate @USAmbUN Mike Waltz. Today, more countries than ever rejected Havana's propaganda. @freedomhouse will continue to ensure that the Cuban people's voices are heard.
The Castro regime has profited at the expense of the Cuban people with luxury cars, expensive watches and a private island resort. As I shared this with the world, regime thugs rushed the stage to interrupt my speech.
They can intimidate their own people in Cuba but think again about trying that nonsense in the United States of America.

🇨🇺 Cuba's regime blames its problems on the U.S. embargo.
FACT-CHECK: The U.S. embargo does not force Cuba to deny free elections to its people for 67 years, arrest and brutalize activists for expressing criticism, or harass civilians in their own homes.

U.N. Fact-Checker Slapped With Community Note: PassBlue, the pro-U.N. website backed by radical left groups including Open Society Foundation and The New School, has just been slapped with a community note while trying to justify the Havana regime's attack on the U.S. ambassador.
Mike Waltz, US envoy to UN, is confused as he shouts at Cuban diplomats, saying: "This is America!" but the UN is international territory: UN 101
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The UN headquarters district remains US territory under the 1947 Headquarters Agreement, where federal, state and local US law applies except as otherwise provided; the agreement grants inviolability but does not transfer sovereignty to the UN.

2024: UN condemns US embargo on Cuban regime by 187-2. EU boasts all 27 members voted for it.
2026: Remarkable political shift: Cuba suffers worst result ever, with 17 voting no, 25 abstain. Record 14 EU states refused to support Havana. Bravo, @USAmbUN.

The United States values its long-standing friendship with the Kingdom of Morocco and our continued cooperation on issues of mutual interest.
I am grateful for Morocco’s solidarity in today’s vote at the United Nations, its support for the Cuban people, and its clear-eyed understanding of the threat posed by the Cuban regime’s support for malign actors abroad.
Together, we stand for security, stability, and freedom. 🇺🇸🤝🇲🇦
The regime in Havana is crumbling. More and more countries are waking up and recognizing these criminals for who they truly are and what they stand for.
This vote at the United Nations demonstrates that Cuba’s dictatorship can no longer hide the truth or silence the voices demanding freedom.
The brave Cuban people will be free, and they will remember the support of the countries that stood by their side in the fight for their freedom!
