Tension between the United States and Cuba was on display at the United Nations on Tuesday, when US Ambassador Mike Waltz and Cuba's foreign minister got into a shouting match, according to a report from ABC News. The ABC headline attributes the words "This is America!" to Waltz during the exchange with Cubans.
CBS News published a video item on the same exchange, reporting that Waltz got into a shouting match with the Cuban delegation while speaking on the "U.N. floor." The CBS summary describes the confrontation as occurring while Waltz was addressing the United Nations.
ABC News and CBS News differ on who was on the other side of the exchange. ABC News named Cuba's foreign minister, while CBS News referred only to the Cuban delegation. Both reports characterize the exchange as a shouting match.
Neither summary explains the subject of the dispute, what was said beyond the words in the ABC headline, or how the exchange ended. The ABC News summary describes the episode as a display of tension between the US and Cuba but gives no further detail on its causes.
Neither the ABC News nor the CBS News summary includes a statement from the US mission to the United Nations or from the Cuban government. This account relies on the headlines and summaries of the two reports and does not reflect the full text or video of either.
