Cuban Delegation Walks Out in Protest of Trump's Claims

The Cuban diplomatic delegation, led by the country's foreign minister, walked out of the hall during Trump's speech at the UN General Assembly.

The Cuban delegation left the UN General Assembly session in protest while Donald Trump was speaking.

According to CNN, when Trump claimed in his speech that the Cuban government "will fall," the country's delegation—led by Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez—rose from their seats and walked out of the hall in protest.

Referring to his administration's pressure on Cuba and its people, Trump stated, "My administration seeks fundamental change in the situation in Cuba, where the communist regime is under intense pressure—the greatest pressure they have ever faced; Cuba is a totally failed state... and it will fall."
