New York_ Donald Trump led a crusade against the revolutionary governments of Latin America in the General Assembly of the United Nations.

Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba were the main targets of accusations and threats that defy guidelines endorsed 73 years ago in the UN Charter to preserve global peace, stability and cooperation.

According to Cubadebate, in his speech on Tuesday, Trump attacked the Bolivarian Revolution and what he called its Cuban sponsors, in addition to blaming socialism for human suffering and oppression.

"Virtually wherever they try socialism or communism, there is suffering, corruption and decay," Trump said in the first session of the high-level debate of the General Assembly, in its 73rd Session.

Barely 24 hours later, the Cuban head of state, Miguel Diaz-Canel, recalled the evils that capitalism and the international order derived from that system caused to humanity. He denounced that three thousand 460 million human beings, about half of the world population, survive in poverty, while 821 million suffer from hunger, 758 million are illiterate and 844 million lack basic drinking water services.

"These realities are not the fruit of socialism as the President of the United States said yesterday in this room, they are consequences of capitalism, mainly imperialism and neoliberalism, selfishness and exclusion that accompanies this system and an economic, political, social and cultural paradigm that privileges the accumulation of wealth in a few hands at the expense of exploitation and misery of the great majorities”, he said.
