UNITED STATES: Cuban President Raul Castro on Saturday took aim at the US embargo against his country, describing it as the "main obstacle" to his country's economic development.
"Such a policy is rejected by 188 United Nations member-states that demand its removal," Castro told a UN development summit, referring to a UN resolution calling for the end of the decades-old embargo.
