Security Council members that would have required President Donald Trump to rescind his declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, a vote that showed the depth of global opposition to the U.S. move.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ambassador Nikki Haley is serving notice the U.S. “will be taking names” on a U.N. General Assembly vote Thursday on a nonbinding resolution criticizing President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Emergency sessions of the General Assembly are rare, and Haley chose her Twitter account Tuesday to speak out. She says in the post, “We’re always asked to do more & give more.”

The tweet adds, “So, when we make a decision, at the will of the American ppl (people), abt (about) where to locate OUR embassy, we don’t expect those we’ve helped to target us.”

Haley, who has adopted an aggressive stance at the world body on U.S. priorities, noted the pending vote “criticizing our choice” and said “the U.S. will be taking names.”

    Great move - as a sycophant serving an unstable boss.

    Horrible move as chief diplomat to the UN serving the US.

    We see you Nikki, just like when the we and the whole world saw you imitate frmr Sec. of State Colin Powell’s most infamous move before the UN.

    Poser.

  3. I bet a lot of folks will be glad to give their name to you, preferably on a wood plaque they shove up your ass.

  4. “I’m not angry, I’m disappointed”

  5. Haley had exceeded my (low) expectations for a while, but this is truly pathetic diplomacy.
