A Cuban official who allegedly “shoved and tried to assault” an American diplomat recording Mike Waltz’s shouting match with Havana’s foreign minister on the floor of the UN is to be kicked out of the US, the Ambassador has confirmed.

The delegate – identified by Cuban media as Richard Tur de la Concepción – seemed to grab US diplomat J.P. Freire’s cell phone while he filmed Waltz’s spat with Cuban Foreign Affairs minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla that erupted on the floor of the UN’s General Assembly Hall on Tuesday.
