UN Rebukes Trump, Votes In Favor Of U.S. Withdrawing Jerusalem Move

Guess those threats are working, eh, Niki? Among the 35 abstentions: Argentina, Canada, Australia, Czech Republic, Mexico, Poland. Check out all those voting FOR the withdrawal measure (e.g., France, German, G. Britain, Russia)


More than 100 countries defied President Donald Trump on Thursday and voted in favor of a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the United States to drop its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Trump had threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favor. A total of 128 countries backed the resolution, nine voted against and 35 abstained.
