一 | Havana, Oct 20 (UNI) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez called on the US government to lift its decades-long trade embargo, or blockade, against the country.
"The US blockade has caused Cuba losses valued at 3.806 billion US dollars between August 2021 and February 2022," Rodriguez told a press conference in the country's capital Havana on Wednesday.
The call comes ahead of the Cuban government's annual submission to the UN General Assembly of a draft resolution calling for an end to the embargo. The General Assembly is scheduled to discuss and vote on the draft resolution in early November.
US trade sanctions, Rodriguez said, severely limit Cuba's access to food, medicine, technology and inputs on the international market.
"The world would be a better place without the US blockade against Cuba," he added.
First imposed in 1962, the embargo was broadened by former US President Donald Trump, who put in place 243 more sanctions, including banning all flights from the United States to Cuban destinations except for Havana, and capping remittances Cuban Americans can send to their families back home.
The current US administration allowed airlines to resume flights to other Cuban cities and lifted the cap on remittances, but the web of sanctions against Cuba remains largely in place.
For 29 times in a row, the UN General Assembly has voted in favor of the resolution urging the United States to end its embargo against Cuba.

四 | 在美国国内政治焦点转向大选之际,法国可以通过这样的外交举措,向世界证明其在国际事务中的独立行动能力和领导力。

五 | 站在美国的角度,在这个敏感时期邀请俄罗斯,等于是在为俄罗斯的国际形象“洗白”,这与西方国家对俄罗斯的制裁政策背道而驰。美国的不满也源于对法国在欧洲领导地位的担忧,担心法国的独立行动会削弱跨大西洋联盟的团结。
