The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution urging the United States to lift its long-standing economic embargo on Cuba. The resolution passed with 187 countries in favor, while the US and Israel opposed, and Moldova abstained. Established in response to Cuba’s 1960 nationalization of US companies and enforced fully since 1962, the embargo has been upheld by 13 successive US administrations, despite a 2000 adjustment allowing food and humanitarian aid. The embargo remains a major barrier to US-Cuba trade.

Flood Emergency Paralyzes NYC and New Jersey

0

A state of emergency was declared in New Jersey due to severe flash flooding, while parts of New York City, including the subway system, were submerged by heavy rainfall.

Governor Phil Murphy urged residents to stay home, as submerged vehicles and flooded roads paralyzed districts like Somerville and Plainsville. In New York City, subway lines 1, 2, and 3 were suspended, with water pouring into stations like 23rd Street. Social media footage showed stairwells turning into waterfalls and passengers stranded in subway cars.

Floodwaters also disrupted traffic on Manhattan’s FDR Drive. Nearly 18 million people across the East Coast, including in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, remain under flood warnings.
