U.S. Vote on Cuba Blockade Resolution Reflects Congressional Opinion

  • 9 years ago
There was considerable speculation on how the U.S. would vote in the U.N. General Assembly resolution on ending Washington's blockade of Cuba. Although the Barack Obama administration publicly says its against continuing the blockade, or embargo, as it calls it, according to U.S. law, only Congress can lift it, and the Republican-controlled Congress is not about to do so. Therefore, today's vote by the U.S. reflects congressional opinion, but Washington is walking a fine line. Jorge Gestoso reports from New York. teleSUR
