UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - More than 120 countries defied President Donald Trump on Thursday and voted in favour of a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the United States to drop its recent recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Trump had threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favour. A total of 128 countries backed the resolution, which is non-binding, nine voted against and 35 abstained. Twenty-one countries did not cast a vote.

Trump's threat appeared to have some impact, with more countries abstaining and rejecting the resolution than usually associated with Palestinian-related resolutions.

Nevertheless, Washington found itself isolated as many of its Western and Arab allies voted for the measure. Some of those allies, like Egypt, Jordan and Iraq, are major recipients of U.S. military or economic aid, although the U.S. threat to cut aid did not single out any country.

Earlier this month, Trump reversed decades of U.S. policy by announcing the United States recognised Jerusalem - home to major Muslim, Jewish and Christian holy sites - as the capital of Israel and would move its embassy there.

"The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told the 193-member General Assembly ahead of Thursday's vote.

"We will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the world's largest contribution to the United Nations, and so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit," she said.

Later on Thursday, Haley asked the 64 countries who voted no, abstained or did not cast a vote to come to a Jan. 3 reception "to thank you for your friendship to the United States," according to the invitation seen by Reuters.

Trump isn't going anywhere. He's a fascist and is largely succeeding with his agenda. The tax bill will strangle poor blacks, slashing the safety net and sending them to plummet even deeper than where they now are. He's the best gift white America has had since Reagan, only more openly white supremacist and appealing enough to the youth to overcome the usual difficulties the Republicans have in recruiting them. And what is the UN going to do?? Their combined military strength couldn't wipe the ass of America. This is lip service, theatre that is non binding and to be ignored by Trump and Israel.

I don't disagree that we will still be here. We can't be stopped. But this vote is still meaningless, imo. Trump is a modern day Hitler.

I would not call it meaningless because it hurt his feelings even though he knew it would be rejected watching it actually go down hurts him.
