Trump administration has announced a more combative new policy to handle Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela governments. The national security advisor to Donald Trump, John Bolton said during a speech in Miami, Florida that there are a large number of people suffered horrors at the hands of the governments in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. He said that the troika of tyranny in hemisphere Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela has finally met its match. His statement came the same day the UN General Assembly adopted its 27th annual resolution calling for an end to economic restrictions on Cuba. It was due to a failed attempt by Washington to change in a push Cuba to enhance its human rights record. The UN vote will have its political weight, but just the U.S Congress could lift the restrictions.
The United States and Israel voted against the resolution. 189 countries voted in the favor, but Ukraine and Moldova didn’t participate in voting. Bolton also said that the president had signed an executive order to ban U.S persons from dealing with entities and individuals involved with corrupt or deceptive gold sales from Venezuela. The speech was expected to be well received by Cuban-Americans and other Hispanics in Florida who favor stronger pressure on Cuba’s Communist government and other leftist governments in Latin America. However, the new policy would be welcomed by international governments. The U.S ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in the General Assembly that the resolution was an opportunity for countries to feel they can poke the United States in the eye. But you’re not hurting the United States when you do this. You are literally hurting the Cuban people by telling the regime that their treatment of their people is acceptable.
