India votes to end US embargo against Cuba
After deciding to maintain its embassy in North Korea despite suggestions to the contrary, India has also distanced itself from the Trump administration's position on Cuba as it voted in favour of a UN resolution urging end to the US embargo on Cuba.

India on Thursday was among 191 out 193 UN member states to vote in favour of the resolution with US and Israel being the only two states to vote against the move in the global body. India, notwithstanding its strategic partnership with the US, came out strongly against the decades-old US sanctions, calling it a "contravention of world opinion", even as President Donald Trump wanted to roll back minor relaxations introduced by his predecessor, Barack Obama.

India should mind its own business. If it's US embargo, it will be a US decision to end it, not a UN decision.

In 1958 the US stopped selling arms to Cuba due to Baptista’s rule.
In 1960 Castro overthrew Baptista and the US decided to lessen the imports of sugar from Fidel’s new government. In response Cuba nationalized our companies without compensation so in return we decided they can look elsewhere for their imports/exports.

We are a part of UN and like the other 193 member countries we exercised our rights. My foot, if its against your interests.

If the shoe fits right? Was the U.S minding its own business when it vetoed of Resolutions Critical to Israel:

US has a special relationship with Israel similar to China's relationship with Pakistan. China veto designation of certain individuals as terrorist. US also protect Israel in the same way. In this regard, at lease US and China know each other's interest. Unlike India which pretend to be a friend and then stab you in the back.

Come now, everyone knows there are no friends in diplomacy, only temporary alliances.
