Trump hints he'll cut funding to countries that support UN Jerusalem vote

US President Donald Trump says he’ll be watching how countries vote in the UN General Assembly Thursday on a non-binding resolution to annul the United States’ recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital

The US president hints at future funding cuts for nations that back the resolution.

“They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we’re watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We’ll save a lot. We don’t care,” Trump says at the White House, according to Reuters.

He praises US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley, who on Tuesday wrote in a letter that Washington will be “taking names” of countries that support the measure.
