    Nikki Hayley warns US 'taking names' of UN opponents of Trump's Jerusalem move


    Haley warns US 'taking names' of UN opponents of Trump's Jerusalem move

    Monday's veto at the Security Council marked the first time the US has used its veto power since 2011.

    The United States has publicly warned United Nations member states not to support Thursday's UN General Assembly resolution denouncing US President Donald Trump's declaration that Jerusalem is Israel's capital.

    The UN text will also call for nations, including the US, not to relocate their embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. To date, the US is the only country who said it will do so.

    The UN General Assembly is scheduled to hold a special emergency session to disavow Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem on Thursday at the request of Yemen, Turkey and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The resolution is expected to pass by a large majority.

    On Monday
    the US vetoed the same text at the UN Security Council, after the 14 other member states approved it.

    "At the UN we're always asked to do more & give more," US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley tweeted on Wednesday,

    "So, when we make a decision, at the will of the American ppl, abt where to locate OUR embassy, we don't expect those we've helped to target us. On Thurs there'll be a vote criticizing our choice. The US will be taking names [sic]," Haley said.

    Haley also sent a warning letter to UN member states, portions of which were circulated on Twitter.

    "To be clear, we are not asking for other countries [to] move their embassies to Jerusalem, though we think it would be appropriate. We are simply asking you acknowledge the historical friendship, partnership, and support we have extended and respect our decision about our embassy.

    "The president will be watching this vote carefully and has requested I report back on those who voted against us. We will take note of every vote on this issue,"
    Haley wrote....




    ....After the Security Council vote on Monday, Haley said, "The United States will not be told by any country where we can put our embassy."

    She further stated, "The fact that this veto is being done in defense of American sovereignty and in defense of America's role in the Middle East peace process is not a source of embarrassment for us; it should be an embarrassment to the remainder of the Security Council."

    Monday's veto at the Security Council marked the first time the US has used its veto power since 2011, when it put a halt to a resolution denouncing Israeli settlement activity.

    Over the last ten years, the US has used its veto power only twice at the Security Council.

    Russia, in contrast, has vetoed 16 Security Council resolutions in that same period, mostly on Syria and the Ukraine....

    Donald Trump threatens to cut aid to countries over UN Jerusalem vote
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...jerusalem-vote

    Donald Trump has threatened to withhold “billions” of dollars of US aid from countries which vote in favour of a United Nations resolution rejecting the US president’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

    His comments came after
    the US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, wrote to about 180 of 193 member states warning that she will be “taking names” of countries that vote for a general assembly resolution on Thursday critical of the announcement which overturned decades of US foreign policy.

    Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Trump amplified Haley’s threat.

    “Let them vote against us,”
    he said.

    “We’ll save a lot. We don’t care. But this isn’t like it used to be where they could vote against you and then you pay them hundreds of millions of dollars,” he said. “We’re not going to be taken advantage of any longer.”

    The warning appeared aimed largely at UN members in Africa, Asia and Latin America who are regarded as more vulnerable to US pressure.

    Egypt, which drafted Monday’s UN security council resolution which the US vetoed, is particularly vulnerable, receiving $1.2bn in US aid last year....



    ...Trump’s extraordinary intervention marked the latest escalation of diplomatic tensions over a decision that has seen the US widely criticised and isolated. It came after a day of high drama.

    In a letter to UN ambassadors, Haley told countries – including European delegations – that she will report back to the US president with the names of those who support a draft resolution rejecting the US move at the UN general assembly on Thursday, adding that Trump took the issue personally....



    ...Referring to Haley’s letter,
    which was disclosed by the Guardian and other media organisations on Wednesday morning, Trump said: “I like the message that Nikki sent yesterday at the United Nations.

    “Our great citizens who love this country are tired of this country being taken advantage of – we’re not going to be taken advantage of any longer.”

    In her letter, Haley wrote: “As you consider your vote, I encourage you to know the president and the US take this vote personally.

    “The president will be watching this vote carefully and has requested I report back on those who voted against us,” she continued....

    I Timothy 2:1-3
    (1) I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
    (2) For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
    (3) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour...

    ...On Tuesday, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley issued a letter to dozens of U.N. states bluntly stating that Trump had asked her to "report back on those countries who voted against us."

    Haley followed with a terse Twitter message: "The U.S. will be taking names."

    A senior diplomat from a Muslim country ripped Haley for her letter, whining, "States resort to such blatant bullying only when they know they do not have a moral or legal argument to convince others."

    Haley slammed back on Twitter, writing, "Actually it is when a country is tired of being taken for granted."

    As Reuters noted, the U.S. government's aid agency USAID stated that in 2016 the United States provided roughly $13 billion in economic and military assistance to countries in sub-Saharan Africa and $1.6 billion to states in East Asia and Oceania.

    Further, the U.S. gave $13 billion to countries in the Middle East and North Africa, $6.7 billion to countries in South and Central Asia, $1.5 billion to states in Europe and Eurasia and $2.2 billion to Western Hemisphere countries.

    Trump said on Tuesday, "I like the message that Nikki sent yesterday at the United Nations, for all those nations that take our money and then they vote against us at the Security Council, or they vote against us potentially at the assembly.”

    That's $38 Billion dollars.

    Just in 2016 alone
