Mike Waltz vs Cuba at the UN General Assembly, October 27, 2026. During the debate on the annual resolution condemning the US embargo, US Ambassador Mike Waltz was accusing Cuba’s leaders of corruption when Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez and his delegation came to the podium. “Back up, Ambassador. Back away. This isn’t Havana.” The Assembly president suspended the meeting.
The other side: Rodriguez said Waltz lies “in a grossly arrogant and overbearing manner” and calls US policy “economic aggression”. The US says there is no blockade and that Cuba’s hardships come from its own government.
The next day (Oct 28) the resolution passed 130-17, the weakest backing in about 30 years (165-7 last year).

He is not in the United States of merica. He is standing in the United Nations, which is neutral territory. Of course, the president of the u.n council won't call him on that.
