Lula Denounces U.S. Embargo on Cuba as Illegal During Havana Visit, Calls for End to Sanctions

Lula calls U.S. embargo on Cuba "illegal" and denounces island's inclusion on terrorism sponsor list during his first Cuba trip in third term.

Lula makes remarks at G77 Summit hours before leaving for U.N. General Assembly in New York, where he'll meet Biden.

Cuba expresses concerns over terrorism sponsor label and decades-old U.S. embargo, which EU also rejects.

Critics say embargo hampers Cuba's access to food, medicine and development supplies.

Lula expected to return Brazil's historic stance condemning embargo at U.N., after Bolsonaro broke with tradition in 2019.
