According to a report by PBS NewsHour, the U.N. General Assembly condemned the U.S. economic embargo of Cuba for the 34th year on Wednesday. The PBS NewsHour report carries a byline from Farnoush Amiri of the Associated Press and states that the vote took place even as a campaign by Washington sought to influence its outcome.
PBS NewsHour reported that the campaign led a number of countries to vote against the resolution or to sit out the decision for the first time. The report presents these two responses together as results of that effort, and its headline links the vote to what it describes as a Trump push.
The PBS NewsHour summary does not give a count of the nations that voted against the resolution or of those that sat out. It does not name the countries involved, describe the terms of Washington's campaign, or provide the final tally of votes.
The report describes the vote as the 34th year in which the General Assembly has condemned the embargo. It does not say what the resolution would do beyond expressing that condemnation, and it does not include statements from the countries that voted for, against, or abstained from the resolution.
This account rests on a single report. No other outlet was consulted for this story, and the summary provided does not indicate that any other source has described the vote differently. The details included here are limited to what PBS NewsHour reported.
Because the report is brief, questions about the wording of the resolution, the reasons individual countries chose their positions, and the stated aims of the campaign remain unanswered in this account. The full PBS NewsHour report may contain further information on these points.
