The world versus Trump. The United Nations General Assembly voted 128-9 (with 35 nations abstaining) to back a non-binding resolution critical of the president’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley threatened that the UN and member states who approved the measure could see their American funding cut. Traditional U.S. allies were in the majority, including the U.K., France, Italy, Japan and Germany. U.S. supporters included Guatemala, Nauru and Micronesia. |
