(Worthy News) – President Trump dared the United Nations Wednesday to vote against his decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, saying “we’ll save a lot” in foreign aid cuts for countries that cross his administration.
“We’re watching those votes,” Mr. Trump said at a Cabinet meeting of a pending U.N. vote. “Let them vote against us. We’ll save a lot. We don’t care.”
U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley tweeted Tuesday night that the administration will be “taking names” of nations that vote against the administration’s embassy move and Mr. Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital. The U.S. also vetoed a resolution by the U.N. Security Council on the matter. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
