UN hit list can bypass Congress and fund Trump border wall

By David Singer - posted Wednesday, 2 January 2019


  • another 54 recipients of US aid that supported a two-thirds majority vote being required on the Hamas resolution over America's claim that a simple majority only was necessary, and
  • an additional 36 similarly US-funded countries that voted against condemning Hamas on the actual motion

Jordan and Egypt – in addition to not voting with America – apparently continue to resist Trump's efforts to replace the Palestine Liberation Organisation in negotiations with Israel on Trump's peace proposals. Their aid could be substantially reduced by a clearly-piqued and very angered Trump.

The ball is now well and truly in the Democrats hands.

If the President does not secure the border wall funding from Congress – then those countries that humiliated Trump could well see their foreign aid in 2019 slashed from their 2017 levels.

Trump is determined to protect Americans against illegal immigration – and no one will be allowed to stand in his way of making America great again.
