US President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that vote in favor of a draft United Nations resolution on Thursday against his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

It still costs us more than it is worth, IMHO. That plus Britain/Europe never miss an opportunity to criticize everything we do.

I thought Theresa May’s headline that she was going to “challenge Trump” on his decision to move the embassy? Who the heck is Theresa May? Does she pay taxes here, does she get a vote? Did we elect her?

Europe’s ship is sinking and we don’t want to stand too close.

This will help pay for the Embassy move.

And here I thought I couldn’t love this potus any more than I already do.

We can see what the liberal mania has done to Europe and the liberals here want the same thing.

Thanks Innovative.

What has happened to Europe breaks my heart. The art, the literature, the music, the culture all being replaced by something so very inferior. I fluctuate between anger and sadness.

[SkyDancer]

Being replaced by muzzie terrorism.

And eventually sharia law. When will Europe act? They will not.

I bet yebbie is “busy” with his “pocket turtle” these days. The fool was yet another bullet we dodged.

Best eclipse ever!

Thank God for President Trump.

I would like to see the Administration prioritize countries to receive US funding. That list should completely eliminate any who by word or action are enemies of the US. Those who have great economic needs, those who are important to us for security reasons, etc. can be on the list to receive, but in priority order.

[MayflowerMadam]

LOL! Don’t hold back; tell us how you feel.

[Deplorable American1776]

Yes.. another win for us!!

Shouldn't be based on the Jerusalem resolution, but the US should certainly be considering things like UN voting record in the nature of our relations, and distribution of aid. We should also review the effectiveness of our aid, since most countries receiving development aid, over the long term don't seem to develop.
