Togo, only African Country that Favours Trump’s Jerusalem

 

The United Nations voted overwhelmingly against Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. This is despite Trump’s threat that US would cut aids for countries that would vote against him.

In Africa, only Togo voted in favour of Trump. Few other countries instead, abstained.

Only nine nations sided with the US in rejecting the measure, with 128 advocating its passage and 35 abstaining. Aside from Israel, those nine were relatively poor countries that plausibly could have, to some degree, been influenced by Trump’s threat of aid removal.

Nikki Haley, Trump’s ambassador to the UN, reiterated the threat after the vote. “The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out in this assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation,” she said. “We will remember it when, once again, we are called up to make the world’s largest contribution to the UN, and we will remember it when many countries come calling on us to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit.”
