Cuban delegation walks out of UN after Trump calls island a failed state

The Cuban delegation walked out of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday after US President Donald Trump called Cuba a "failed state" and boasted of his administration's pressure on the island. Trump stated Cuba has "failed completely" and will eventually fall. Trump said his administration seeks "fundamental change" in Cuba, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and accused the Cuban government of being a "communist regime" under maximum pressure. He also alleged Cuba coordinated for decades with US communist networks, Antifa, and the Democratic Socialists of America. Cuba is scheduled to address the General Assembly on Saturday, with Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez expected to speak. Trump has intensified political and economic pressure on Cuba since returning to the White House, aiming to financially strangle the government.
