Mike Waltz, the US representative at the UN, addressed the issue of corruption in the Cuban government in his speech at the UN General Assembly and raised issues such as "luxury watches" and the private island "Cayo Piedra". These statements resulted in a sharp reaction from the Cuban delegation. The members of the Cuban delegation protested by banging on the table and issuing a warning, and Rodriguez, one of the members of this delegation, took the stand and accused Waltz of "lying". Following these reactions, Khalil Al-Rahman, the chairman of the General Assembly, suspended the meeting for a short time.
