WATCH: Mike Waltz Cut Off During Speech Trashing Cuba in Wild Moment on UN Floor
"The facts are, this is an illegitimate and brutal regime that seeks to cast itself as the victim of aggression while plainly describing itself as the enemy of the United States. It's located just 90 miles off our shore. It conspires and it collaborates with enemies and adversaries of the United States against our interests. The facts are, that this regime supports terrorist organizations around the globe. It is allowing mercenaries to fight in the war in Ukraine. It's propping up the Venezuelan regime and it aids cartels."
"The permanent representative of the United States not only lies by substantially deviating from the topic, but also speaks in a rude and arrogant manner against your Presidency, against the dignity of this Assembly and the Member States. He does so with uncivilized, crude, and coarse behavior that is not acceptable in this distinguished and democratic forum. Mr. Waltz, this is the United Nations General Assembly. This is not a Signal chat, nor is it the House of Representatives."
The U.N. convened to debate a resolution demanding an end to the U.S. blockade on Cuba. U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz labeled the Cuban regime illegitimate, brutal, and an enemy of the United States located 90 miles off the U.S. shore. He accused Cuba of conspiring with U.S. adversaries, supporting terrorist organizations, allowing mercenaries to fight in Ukraine, propping up Venezuela, and aiding cartels that traffic people, drugs, and weapons, undermining regional democracies. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla raised a point of order, called Waltz rude and arrogant, and invoked the Signal chat reference.
