Cuba's foreign minister said Wednesday his government expects the next US president to respond to overwhelming international demand and lift the 47-year-old US trade embargo against Cuba.
Felipe Perez Roque said in an interview after the UN General Assembly supported repeal of the economic and commercial embargo by its highest margin ever - 185 to 3 with 2 abstentions - that the winner of Tuesday's US election should heed this message.
"We expect that the new president will change the policy toward Cuba after nearly 50 years," he told the Associated Press.
The United States has no diplomatic relations with Cuba, lists the country as a state sponsor of terror and has long sought to isolate it through travel restrictions and a trade embargo. The embargo, imposed in 1962, has been tightened during President George W. Bush's two terms.
