US ambassador to the UN held an exclusive reception for the countries that voted against or abstained from a resolution that condemned Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
US envoy to the UN Nikki Haley hosted a party on Wednesday for countries that backed President Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Haley invited representatives from the nations that voted against or abstained from an anti-Israel resolution at the UN General Assembly which condemned Trump's December 6 announcement that included a plan to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to the contested city.

The "Friends of the US" reception was praised by Israeli ambassador to the UN Danny Danon.

He said on his way to the gathering, reported by CNN: "First, it was a courageous decision by President Trump and Ambassador Haley, and we thank the United States for this courageous decision, and tonight the US is continuing to show leadership in the Middle East, real leadership in the UN.

"There's a lot hypocrisy in the UN. I think tonight the countries who stood with the US will come and hear that the US is thanking them for standing for the truth and not joining the show of the Palestinians inside the UN." The vote in December saw 128 countries vote for the resolution, nine voted "no" and 35 nations abstained, including Canada, Mexico and Australia - yet not all the invited countries attended Haley's reception. Ahead of the vote, Trump threatened to cut funding to countries who defied his Jerusalem stance. But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the world not to be swayed by Trump's threat to cut off financial funding if they defy his Jerusalem stance.

Haley said the outcome "will make a difference on how Americans look at the UN and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the UN, and this vote will be remembered".

Most, if not all, nations are generally invited to UN receptions, but smaller gatherings can be held.

However receptions held by a powerful UN member, such as the US, that publicly highlight the absence of other member countries are rare.

Photos posted by Haley and the US mission to the UN in New York on Twitter show drinks flowing and live music.

"It's easy for friends to be with you in the good times, but it’s the friends who are with you during the challenging times that will never be forgotten," Haley said.

The rest of the world mocks the clown called Trump—- a man with less than 30% approval rating. Unknown impoverished region from Nigeria see him as their messiah

Why didn’t Trump invite FFK - Biafra’s leader?

Hmm

Igbos have been failing since 1960 because they are always on the wrong side of history.

Even the meager 30% are ipob'like villagers in rural america.. same same naa ni..

Thank God I have passport unlike when I had just the green card. Wahala dey for sure maybe not immediately but soon.

For US residents, if you have just the green card, don't leave the country now for your own good.

Togo, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Micronesia, Palau, Honduras, Rwanda, Uganda, South Sudan, Malawi, and Guatemala...


^^^^^ These are the rag tag and the inconsequential countries trump dey party with...



Even traditional allies like Britain voted against the US and Canada and Mexico next door no even bother to vote because den no won embarrass their next-door neighbor, but we all know they voted against the US in spirit.

That man is one unpredictable old dude I've seen. He has once said that Nigerians are in every work place he had visited and now our silly government has given him a reason to act up.

Guys just stay back and watch first. Our Oga at the top na one crazy old dude.

Mtchewww...as if Trump would be there forever. #childish

I can understand the painment, they had to invite "weak" nations so others will regret their actions.

Oga trump Nigeria will vote against your evil and oppressive attitude towards the people of Palestine over and over again , right now we control ECOWAs and anything Nigeria does, others follow.

They think they can bully every body into doing their bidding. that was how they bullied Ghadafi .

NaoSlay:
The way these ipob youths disgrace the igbo tribe one will begin to imaging ipob represents the whole igbos

For God sake you guys should stop acting ignorantly .

The issue of Israel is a clear political land grabbing issue yet you guys have brought religion to it when trump that started it did not bring religion and the people you supporting hate your complexion and still hates your religion yet you forcing yourself on them.

This is the 21st century where are all tribes are trying to outdo each other through technologies, developments, you guys are still asslicking isreal.

You should learn silence. It's much better than opening your mouth and taking nonsense. So every supporter of Israel here is Ipob abi?

Trump has simply executed America's decision. It is the decision of their country. Why are all of you drinking panadol over another man's decision?

These clowns again.

Let dem party there

Trump has officially gone mad

Hiya...
