The United States will vote against a UN General Assembly resolution on Wednesday calling for the lifting economic embargo against Cuba.
In a statement, US State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said America abstained for the first time in 2016 as Washington and Havana forged a closer relationship and reopened embassies in both countries in 2015.
Meanwhile, a ten US Democrat senators group lead by Senator Patrick Leahy urged Trump administration to direct America delegation to once more abstain from voting.
