"US President Donald Trump on Wednesday cautioned he could slash funding to countries that support a UN General Assembly resolution on Thursday that seeks to annul the United States' recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
'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 said at the White House, Reuters reported.
On Tuesday, Nikki Haley, Washington's UN envoy, warned that she would report back to Trump with the names of those countries who supported a draft resolution rejecting the US recognition.
'The president will be watching this vote carefully and has requested I report back on those countries who voted against us," she wrote to UN envoys. 'We will take note of each and every vote on this issue.'
The UN General Assembly will hold an emergency session on Thursday to vote on the proposed measure, after the US vetoed a similar resolution for the Security Council..."
