The U.N. General Assembly called for the 31st time on the United States to end its decades-long trade embargo against Cuba as the communist-run island suffers its worst economic crisis in decades, with shortages of food, fuel and medicine.
While it hasn't happened yet congress has authorized the president to do just that if any (important) American armed service member catches war crime charges.
Trump resumed trade prohibitions. After that I don't know. But that is the way to change relationships. Last I heard, Cuba actually arrested some Russians for recruiting Cubans for the Ukraine War. Which was, I should think, a good sign. But, Cubans know the way to Blinken's office.
Actually, Obama started them on their way to normalization. Then Trump reapplied sanctions. So it wasn't a straight 60 years. They want to get on the path that they agreed to again, I'm sure SecState would be receptive. And that is the way it's done.
What I'm implying is if Cuba wants normalization it knows how to get it. The way to get it is not through the UN. Has Cuba the one dragging feet? IDK, when was the last time they had a free and fair election?

Please spell it out for us, what does Cuba need to do to get America to act like a normal country? We know it has nothing to do with “free and fair elections,” because there are plenty of countries the US isn’t embargoing that don’t have that. The US Has No Business Lecturing Cuba About “Free and Fair” Elections
I'm not the Secretary of State. But I suppose it has something to do with improved human rights conditions and democratic reforms. The promotion of universal human rights and a person’s right to speak freely, peacefully assemble, and associate, and by supporting the ability of people to freely determine their future. The common stuff. The stuff Russia, Iran and North Korea don't do. The stuff Cuba is pretty terrible at.
