The meeting of the UN General Assembly was interrupted after a skirmish between representatives of Cuba and the USA. The head of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, and the permanent US representative to the organization, Michael Waltz, spoke in high tones. The latter made some harsh comments against Havana during his speech. The Cuban delegation responded by knocking on the table and demanding an immediate response from the floor. When the conflicting parties were "separated into corners", a forced truce was declared. Parrilla spoke after him and accused the United States of harming the dignity of the people and the government in Cuba.
