Story summary

On September 22, President Donald Trump addressed the UN General Assembly in New York, where he called Cuba "a failed state" and asserted that communism would never come to America but freedom would come to Cuba. During his speech, which criticized the communist regime's pressure under his administration, the Cuban delegation walked out of the hall. The US has maintained a trade embargo on Cuba for over 60 years, and Trump’s government has intensified efforts against the island nation, including military intervention in Venezuela earlier this year.
