“....Japan up to now has been a solid Trump supporter since he won the election.

I would like to know what the story is before we say FUJ!...”

A pretty basic reason actually.

“.....Japan is the world’s third largest consumer of oil. Its oil industry relies heavily on oil output from members of OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries).

“Although Japan has cut its oil dependence by a third since the mid-1970s, oil remains the country’s main source of energy, and Japanese dependence on oil imports is one of the highest among the industrialized nations. This is one reason that the security and stability of its oil supply have always been a priority in the Japanese government’s energy policy....”

They will happily call Trump and explain to him that it was only a meaningless vote in a rapidly fading international organization. But they need to keep the lights on back home.

One bit of symbolism that is within reach of Trump now: the UN delegates from all these nations who voted against us are notorious for ignoring parking tickets and to this point they don’t tow a car with UN diplomatic plates. I think they need to end that practice and put the cars of offenders up on the auction block next time rather than just hanging paper which is ignored? When their Mercedes and Volvos disappear off the streets of New York maybe they will recall their vote in the general assembly?
