"They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we're watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We'll save a lot. We don't care," Trump told reporters at the White House on Wednesday.

Arab and Muslim states have requested that the 193-nation assembly hold an emergency special meeting on Trump’s decision to recognize Al-Quds as Israeli regime’s “capital,” days after Washington used its veto power to block an Egypt-drafted resolution against the move at the UN Security Council.
