"A study by the firm Reputation Lab polled people in 60 major countries, and found that the United States has a very bad reputation. The US ranking fell from what was already a low rank of 30 out of 60 in 2024 to an even worse 48th place in 2025.

A clear demonstration of the political isolation of the US government can be seen in votes at the United Nations.

The vast majority of countries on Earth voted at the UN General Assembly on 29 October to demand an end to the illegal US blockade of Cuba, which has been maintained in blatant violation of international law for more than six decades.

165 countries, representing 85.5% of the UN’s 193 member states, voted in support of a resolution that emphasized the “necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”.

Just seven nations, or 3.6% of the total, opposed the measure. These included the US and Israel — which vote against the resolution every single year — as well as Argentina, Hungary, Paraguay, North Macedonia, and Ukraine."

U.N. Votes Overwhelmingly to Denounce U.S. Embargo on Cuba as Hurricane Melissa Batters Island

From #DemocracyNow
October 30, 2025

The #UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn the #US #embargo on #Cuba for the 33rd consecutive year, with just seven opposed, including the US, Israel and Ukraine. The vote came as Cuba was battered by #HurricaneMelissa, causing widespread damage.

We get an update from the eastern Cuban province of Santiago de Cuba with Liz Oliva Fernández, a reporter with #BellyOfTheBeast, who says the US embargo makes it much harder for Cuba to respond to natural disasters. Nevertheless, it has a robust early warning system, detailed plans for evacuating the most vulnerable and an extensive network of government shelters.

The US could learn much from Cuba when it comes to dealing with #hurricanes, says Mikael Wolfe, a historian at Stanford University.

U.N. Votes Overwhelmingly to Denounce U.S. Embargo on Cuba as Hurricane Melissa Batters Island

The vote came as Cuba was battered by Hurricane Melissa, causing widespread damage. We get an update from the eastern Cuban province of Santiago de Cuba with Liz Oliva Fernández, a reporter with Belly of the Beast, who says the U.S. embargo and other economic sanctions make it much harder for Cuba to respond to natural disasters. Nevertheless, it has a robust early warning system, detailed plans for evacuating the most vulnerable and an extensive network of government shelters. Mikael Wolfe, a historian at Stanford University, notes this system is rooted in lessons from early in the Cuban Revolution when another devastating storm killed hundreds of people across the island. The U.S. could learn much from the Cuban government when it comes to dealing with hurricanes, says Wolfe.

Argentina rompe su tradición diplomática y apoya el embargo de EE.UU. a Cuba en la ONU

Voto sorprendente: Argentina abandona su posición histórica y se alinea con EE. UU. en Cuba. Optimista respecto al cambio de rumbo, pero crítico con la politización de la ONU.
