India joined 129 countries at the UN in voting to end the US embargo on Cuba, though the US and 16 others opposed it, reflecting a decline in support compared to previous years. The embargo, imposed by the US Congress, remains a core US-Cuba conflict, worsening Cuba's economic crisis. 

The UN General Assembly resolutions are symbolic and non-binding. Tensions escalated between US and Cuban diplomats, with allegations of assault and expulsions. Cuba denounced the embargo as collective punishment, while the US praised shifting international support.
