WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration says “no decisions have been made” about cutting off foreign aid to countries that voted against the United States on a U.N. vote about Jerusalem.
President Donald Trump had threatened to withhold money to countries that voted to denounce his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. On Thursday, 128 countries defied his threat and voted against the U.S.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert says that Trump’s foreign policy team “has been empowered to explore various options” in the future about relations with those countries. But she says there’s no decision yet.
Nauert also says the U.N. vote “is not the only factor” the U.S. will consider when it comes to determining its relationship with foreign countries.
As usual, the Asshole-elect is “all hat and no cattle.” If Trump had balls, which is questionable, he would simply withdraw from the UN and find some other rat hole to piss the money down.
Perhaps he could establish a foundation. Maybe name it after himself.
I am so disgusted with this piece of shit Russian mobster “administration”.
What next, a severed horses head in the beds of countries that voted with the rest of the world in condemning this stupid as fuck move by Trump?
Hey, that money could help pay for…more tax cuts for the rich and corporations. Still gotta cut medical and social safety net spending, though.
Foot, meet mouth. If you were strong, you wouldn’t need to threaten, and empty threats only make you look weaker.
