Cuba has expelled a U.S. diplomat following an unusual altercation at the UN, per ABC News. The incident occurred during a session where tensions were already high over the U.S. embargo on Cuba.

The move comes amid broader diplomatic strains, as Costa Rica became the first nation to vote against the UN's call to end the U.S. embargo, according to Ticotimes.net. This marks a significant shift in regional sentiment toward Cuba.

Meanwhile, Cuban Americans remain divided on policy, with a FIU poll showing that while they support 'maximum pressure' tactics, they reject deportations, as reported by the Miami Herald. The ongoing political divide reflects deep societal polarization.

Havana continues to navigate complex international relations, with recent diplomatic incidents underscoring the sensitive nature of U.S.-Cuba relations and the broader geopolitical landscape in the Caribbean.
