[De Gaulle refuses to bow down to the UN]
Description
President de Gaulle stands tall against the bending building representing the weight of the UN.
De Gaulle ordered the French delegation at the UN to back the U.S. position, and in Canada, Prime Minister Diefenbaker endorsed President Kennedy's assessment of the Cuban arms build-up, but did not comment on the quarantine. In the Pacific area, South Vietnam, South Korea, the Philippines, and Nationalist China all backed the U.S. position.
