Countries may lose US aid for UN vote against Trump’s Jerusalem policy

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. On Tuesday, Nikki Haley, US ambassador to the UN, said she would report back to Trump with the names of those countries who vote for the resolution drafted by Turkey and Yemen.
