古巴指责美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥在联合国大会就一项要求结束华盛顿对该岛数十年经济禁运的决议进行投票前，施压外国领导人改变立场。
Cuba accused US Secretary of State Marco Rubio of pressuring foreign leaders to change their positions ahead of a UN General Assembly vote on a resolution demanding an end to Washington's decades-long economic embargo against the island.
“美国国务卿因在联合国再次失败而紧张焦虑，正在施压和勒索几个国家的国家元首和政府首脑，以改变他们对禁运的投票，”外交部长布鲁诺·罗德里格斯在美国社交媒体公司的一篇帖子中说。罗德里格斯指责华盛顿对古巴人实施集体惩罚，并敦促国际社会反对美国政策。
“US Secretary of State, nervous and anxious about another defeat at the United Nations, is pressuring and blackmailing heads of state and government of several countries to change their vote against the blockade,” Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said in a post on US social media company Rodriguez accused Washington of collectively punishing Cubans and urged the international community to oppose US policy.
联合国大会将就一项非约束性决议进行投票，该决议呼吁结束美国对古巴的禁运，该禁运多次获得广泛国际支持。
The General Assembly will vote on a non-binding resolution calling for an end to the US embargo on Cuba, which has repeatedly received broad international support.
此指责紧随鲁比奥周二与萨尔瓦多总统奈伊布·布克勒通话之后，通话内容涉及安全合作以及美国在联合国的优先事项，这是根据国务院的一份声明所述。
The accusation follows Rubio's call on Tuesday with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to discuss security cooperation and US priorities at the UN, according to a statement by the State Department.
声明称，鲁比奥敦促萨尔瓦多与华盛顿及志同道合的伙伴合作，以在联合国推进共同优先事项。
Rubio urged El Salvador to work with Washington and like-minded partners to advance shared priorities at the UN, it said.
声明还说，他们讨论了保护关键基础设施（包括港口）免受华盛顿所描述的“恶意外国影响”的影响。声明未指出该短语所指的国家或实体。
The statement said they discussed protecting critical infrastructure, including ports, from what Washington described as “malign foreign influences.”It did not identify the countries or entities to which the phrase referred.
此次通话发生之际，华盛顿正在寻求国际组织对其立场的支持，同时对哈瓦那保持压力。
The call comes as Washington seeks support for its positions at international organizations while maintaining pressure on Havana.
美国已经对古巴实施经济禁运数十年，旨在推动政治变革，而哈瓦那则表示这些限制损害了其人民。古巴多次呼吁国际社会支持要求结束禁运的决议。
The US has maintained an economic embargo on Cuba for decades, seeking political change, while Havana has said the restrictions harm its population. Cuba has repeatedly urged the international community to support the resolution demanding an end to the embargo.
这一年度投票一直是哈瓦那与华盛顿之间外交紧张的根源，也是检验国际社会对结束美国制裁支持程度的试金石。
The annual vote remains a source of diplomatic tension between Havana and Washington and a test of international support for ending US sanctions.
