US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz said the Trump administration is ejecting a Cuban diplomat from the United States amid soaring tensions between Washington and Havana.
The ejection comes after a shouting match erupted on the floor of the United Nations General Assembly Hall between Waltz and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla during a session on the US economic embargo against Cuba. It also comes as administration officials have again increasingly raised the specter of US action on the island.
