Donald Trump vows to cripple Nigeria, 127 other nations over Jerusalem. 23/12/2017Nigerian President Donald Trump carries out his paper on the State of Jerusalem. ,trump recently recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, a decision that drew international condemnations including the United Nations General Assembly Nigeria and 126 others on Thursday voted against the US position. The US is Nigeria's largest bilateral donor providing between $ 600 and $ 700 million annually in recent years, according to US Congressional Research Service. A day before the General Assembly vote, Trump has been quoted by the New York Times country that voted against the position of his government on Jerusalem. "All of these nations will take our money and then they vote against us at the Security They vote against each other, and they vote at the Assembly. Well, we're watching those votes. Let's vote against us; we'll save a lot. We do not care, "Trump threatened. in 2013, Nigeria got from the US, $ 699,778; $ 703,031 in 2014; $ 640,553 in 2015 with requests of $ 670,498 and $ 606,110 in 2016 and 2017, according to US official records. According to the New York Times, Mrtrump's statement, delivered at a cabinet meeting in which he extradited over the passage of a tax overhaul, followed by a letter to General Assembly members from the American Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki R.haley, in which she warned that the United States would take a vote in favor of the measure. The New York Times said it was difficult to see how Mr.trump can make good on that threat because it could be cutting down on financial assistance to the country's most strategic allies in the Middle East. Some of those programs, like Egypt's, are congressionally mandated. unilaterally as a form of leverage, canceling it would require new legislation. Still, the bitter confrontation at the United Nations shows the lingering repercussions of Mr.trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem, which defied world opinion and upended decades of American policy. While the decision has not been unleashed the violence in the Arab capitals that some had feared, it has left the United States diplomatically isolated. Mrtrump announced this month that the United States would relocate its embassy to Jerusalem, though State Department officials said a move was several years away because of the logistics of constructing a new embassy complex. In Mshaley's letter, a copy of which is seen by The New York Times, she said, "As you consider your vote, I want you to know that the president and U.S. take this vote personally. " "To be clear," she wrote, "we are not going to move your embassies to Jerusalem, though we think it would be appropriate. We are simply asking that you acknowledge the historical friendship, partnership and support our own embassy. " In a Twitter post on Tuesday, Mshaley said in the General Assembly, "the US want to take names. "
