UN To Call For End Of US Embargo On Cuba

The UN General Assembly is expected to vote overwhelmingly Tuesday in favor of ending the 45-year-old US trade embargo against Cuba even though President George Bush vowed to keep it in place.
It will mark the 16th year in a row that the 192-member assembly urges the lifting of the crippling embargo imposed in 1962 following the failed Bay of Pigs invasion by US-backed Cuban exiles under the late president John Kennedy's administration. [Agency France Presse]
