Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez accused the U.S. State Department of carrying out “pressure, blackmail and threats” to derail a debate about the U.S. blockade at the United Nations General Assembly on July 7.

According to Rodríguez, the U.S. State Department is pressuring governments to prevent the session from taking place. He also claimed that Washington is circulating documents urging countries not to support Cuba at the UN.
