For 18 years the legal members of the United Nations have voted to end the Washington regime's childish, extremist--and illegal--embargo. In almost every vote, the numbers are 170+ versus Washington and only 2 or 3 of its colonies and sycophants (usually Palau, Marshall Islands and, of course, Israel).
The only reason more legal nations don't have more economic relations with Cuba is the odious, also-illegal monetary and political punishment Washington metes out against anyone who dares defy it.
However, those days are, thankfully, drawing to an end. With the U$'s corporate-capitalist economy in shambles, and its international relations, reputation and influence in the gutter, the family of legal nations are exerting more pressure against the empire's aggressions. This is only the latest in a string of once-omnipotent empires that have fallen; Washington's will, too, and pretty soon.
To bad T, the corporate-capitalist economy is recovering as it always does, as opposed the the socialist economies which always collapse. If they passed out “get out of Cuba cards” to the million or so that went to the free concert, Cuba would have a million less inhabitants today....
