Trumps UN threat backfires after Canada changes its vote to avoid being seen as his puppet: report

President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued a direct threat against countries that voted in favor of a United Nations resolution that condemned the recognition of Jerusalem as Israels capital.
They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us, Trump said of countries that planned to vote for the resolution. Let them vote against us. Well save a lot. We dont care.
However, Trumps threat seems to have already backfired, as Israeli reporter Barak Ravid says hes received word that Canada will abstain from voting on the UN resolution after having previously planned to vote with the United States against it.

Despite Trumps threats, the UN General Assembly is still expected to vote overwhelmingly in favor of the resolution.

Justin had to play a little politics.
He is a smart guy.
He played Trump.
Trump would sale his daughter.
Trump is only loyal to himself.

(17,314 posts)Canada should have been planning to vote with the rest of the UN in the first place, condemning the U.S. policy on recognizing Jerusalem. Moving to abstention, from potentially being one of America's few allies on this matter, is still weak sauce.
