Story summary

On October 27, 2026, U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz and Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla engaged in a heated shouting match on the floor of the United Nations General Assembly during discussions about the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba. The confrontation escalated when Waltz was urging other nations to vote against a Cuban resolution, leading the Cuban delegation to interrupt him aggressively. According to some reports, Waltz repeatedly declared "This is America" in response to interruptions. In retaliation for this incident and another physical altercation involving phones, Florida Senator Marco Rubio announced that a Cuban diplomat would be expelled from the United States. On October 30, Cuba welcomed home the expelled diplomat with a public ceremony at Havana’s airport.
