Brazil’s socialist president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, advocated for the end of the U.S. economic embargo against Cuba at the United Nations General Assembly.
The embargo was lifted in 2015 during the left-leaning administration of Barack Obama. However, in 2020, President Donald Trump imposed new sanctions on Cuba and accused the communist country of sponsoring terrorism.
These sanctions have hindered Cuba’s ability to engage in business with other nations.
At the UN, Lula stated:
“Brazil will continue to denounce actions taken without the support of the UN Charter, such as the economic and financial embargo imposed on Cuba and the attempt to classify this country as a state sponsor of terrorism.
