A United Nations General Assembly determination requiring the U.S. to pull back its choice to perceive Jerusalem as Israel's capital passed overwhelmingly Thursday in spite of dangers from the Trump organization to slice subsidizing to U.S. help beneficiaries who voted in support.
One hundred and twenty-eight nations voted in favor of the determination. Nine nations voted against and thirty-five nations went without.
"Give them a chance to vote against us," Trump said at a Cabinet meeting Wednesday. "We couldn't care less. In any case, this isn't care for it used to be the place they could vote against you and after that you pay them a huge number of dollars."
On Tuesday, U.S. Diplomat to the United Nations Nikki Haley said the United States would be "taking names" of the individuals who voted in favor of the determination.
