U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz was cut off during a speech and mocked for the SignalGate controversy by a Cuban representative in a wild exchange at the U.N.

On Tuesday, the U.N. met to debate on a resolution demanding an end to the U.S. blockade on Cuba. In his speech, Waltz sought to “set the record straight” and “correct the fake news” regarding American’s relationship with Cuba. He continued:

The facts are, this is an illegitimate and brutal regime that seeks to cast itself as the victim of aggression while plainly describing itself as the enemy of the United States. It’s located just 90 miles off our shore. It conspires and it collaborates with enemies and adversaries of the United States against our interests.

The facts are, that this regime supports terrorist organizations around the globe. It is allowing mercenaries to fight in the war in Ukraine. It’s propping up the Venezuelan regime and it aids cartels. The facts are that these cartels that it props up are trafficking people, drugs, and weapons, and is aiding and abetting instability in our hemisphere. They undermine democracies in our hemisphere–

At the UN today, U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz said he would “correct the fake news” about Cuba – then unleashed a barrage of it himself. Cuba’s FM cut him off: “This is the UN General Assembly, not a Signal chat.”#Cuba #UN #Embargo #CubaNews #BrunoRodriguez #UnitedNations pic.twitter.com/WA5UJGT1yV

Waltz was then interrupted when it was announced a representative from Cuba had requested a point of order. That’s when Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla called Waltz “uncivilized” and “crude” while also taking a dig at the infamous Signal chat scandal. Translated from Spanish, the Cuban representative said:

The permanent representative of the United States not only lies by substantially deviating from the topic, but also speaks in a rude and arrogant manner against your Presidency, against the dignity of this Assembly and the Member States. He does so with uncivilized, crude, and coarse behavior that is not acceptable in this distinguished and democratic forum. Mr. Waltz, this is the United Nations General Assembly. This is not a Signal chat, nor is it the House of Representatives.
