United Nations, Nov 3 (EFE).- The United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Thursday to demand that the United States end its economic embargo against Cuba.

The island’s Communist government has proposed the resolution every year since 1992 and on each occasion, it has been approved by a large majority of the 193 UN member-states.

The latest resolution passed Thursday by a vote of 185-2 with two abstentions. Only Israel joined the US in voting “no,” while Brazil and Ukraine declined to take a position.

In 2016, during the thaw between the US and Cuba under then-President Barack Obama, Washington’s representative to the UN abstained on the anti-embargo resolution.

But the US returned to its traditional position under Donald Trump, who not only reversed most of the steps taken by Obama to improve ties, but extended and intensified the embargo.
